The difference between libraries and directories is huge. I suppose if you disregard the differences, then they look the same. For example, you list directories with the "ls" command; you list libraries with the "ar" command. Need I describe more differences? _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
