If /bin/lex does not exist on your system, someone must have removed it or moved it, since it is supposed to be part of the standard IRIX system. If /bin/lex exists but is not found by your "sh", then you should add the /bin directory to your PATH environment variable, either in your .profile file or whatever you use to set the PATH list of directories where executables should be found. ______________________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
