Rich,

  You may have already got this or figured it out, but I found
that you just need to add an eval to the script.
Like below:

#!/bin/sh
set -vx
names="-name '*.c' -o -name '*t*'"
eval "find . \( $names \) -print"

This clears up the problem, which seemed to be a too late sub. for names.

Hope this was helpful.

Jim Biard.
