You should run './qhdiv0.e', then. This explicitly includes the location of the binary (the current directory), which avoids user confusion. Putting . into PATH is considered by many to be a poor idea.

To add a personal binary directory to the path, you might add 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' to an appropriate one of those files. See bash(1) (or archives of debian-user, if you're so inspired) for the difference. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
