Hello All! While investigating infloop breakage in `batch-texinfo-format' on directories I came across the culprit: (directory-files ...) whit a default FILES-ONLY argument of nil includes ".", and even ".." in the returned list. This occurs on system-types `usg-unix-v' (Solaris2.5.1) and `windows-nt' (Workstation 4.0, native build) with the twist that NT does not include ".", and ".." when invoked on "/". This gotta be broken, right? Here's a sample, with output trimmed down (...). (list system-type (mapcar 'directory-files '("/" "/export"))) (usg-unix-v (("." ".." ".Xauthority" ... "var" "vol" "xfn") ("." ".." "exec" "home" "share"))) (windows-nt (("AUTOEXEC.BAT" "Acrobat3" ...) ("." ".." "home"))) Regards, Adrian -- Adrian Aichner Applications Engineer Teradyne GmbH Semiconductor Test Group Telephone +49/89/41861(0)-208 Dingolfinger Straße 2 Fax +49/89/41861-217 D-81673 MÜNCHEN E-mail aichner(a)ecf.teradyne.com
