System V.3 has the install command in /etc. I don't know why, but my guess is that since it's a shell script that may attempt to set the SUID bit on files owned by just about anybody, you have to run it as root to *guarantee* that it does the right thing. put /etc in your PATH and you should be OK, (don't know about Xenix, never used it.) -- Geoffrey Kimbrough -- Director of Dangerous Activities INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation, Santa Monica, California sdcrdcf!ism780c!geoff || seismo!ism780c!geoff || ima!geoff "Every morning I read the obituaries, if I'm not listed, I go to work."
