Clint,

In this case, 1 & 2 are the same.
If you were calling the ctb library with a file name like path/filename,
then "filename" would be checked first in the current directory (1)
and then the full path second (2).

>>Clint,

>>Yes, the order in which the program searches for most tables (including 
>>mod_res.tbl) is:
>>
>> *      1. filename (local)                                             *
>> *      2. path/filename (table as given)                               *
>> *      3. $NCDESK/type/filename                                        *
>> *      4. $NCSITE/type/filename                                        *
>> *      5. $GEMTBL/type/filename 
>>
>>(above, path/filename is mod_res.tbl, and type is nmap for the grid pulldown)
>>)
>>So, the mod_res.tbl file in the local directory will always take precedence.
>>The least precedence will be given to $GEMTBL/nmap/mod_res.tbl.
>>You can also use the $NCDESK and $NCSITE environmental variables
>>for certain application specific (eg case study, class project) tables.
>>
>>The mod_res.tbl typically references the files under $NMAP_RESTORE,
>>which can also be changed by the environmental variable...or users can
>>use their own variables, or hardcoded paths in their local mod_res.tbl file.
