Hi David,

   I've fixed the problem in TUnixSystem::Which().

Cheers, Fons.

Fons, I did not see a reply to this mail. I think that what he proposes seems to make sense. Rene

I think I have tracked down the problem with macro search paths which I reported earlier. In my example, I was trying to find dir1/dir2/macro.C using the relative path dir2/macro.C and with dir1/ in my macro search path. This does not appear to work, ie, it looks like the search path is only applied to bare filenames. Is this a bug or a feature? I can understand why the search path should not be applied to an absolute path, but why shouldn't it be tried for relative paths? cheers, David On Tue, 30 Nov 1999, David Kirkby wrote: > Hello - I am having trouble loading a macro in my search path.
