I would like to know what version of AIX you are using. I ask this since when I look at the man pages for AIX I see that in 5.3 the "ls" function is defined. However, in 6.1 it isn't. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp But, anyway..... A later posting from you seems to suggest that you are hamstrung by people unable/unwilling to move forward. I will tell you that I had a "similar" situation a few years ago. What I ended up doing was writing a "wrapper" around the new command to mimic the old command. This way, the "lazy" people didn't have to learn anything new. I think it was 6+ months after that they bemoaned the fact that the old command wasn't able to do something they thought it should. So, I pointed them to the new command and they finally "switched", having never known they were using the new one all along. -- We place two copies of PEOPLE magazine in a DARK, HUMID mobile home. 45 minutes later CYNDI LAUPER emerges wearing a BIRD CAGE on her head! èæ å æåè / åååååèåæ
