Re: Cross platform(?) problem

Here is something.  Maybe not very much.  The only reason I offer this is
that the verbiage ""No such file or directory at -e line" happened to me
once in PAR context.  I posted the problem at

http://www.mail-archive.com/par@xxxxxxxx/msg01315.html

and got a number of replies on it.   A lot of it was over my head (I don't
know C) but maybe you can understand it.

On the other hand, there are a number of google matches for "No such file or
directory at -e line" that clearly have nothing at all to do with PAR.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Hope you can gain from this.
