The `gnuserv' executable is tightly bound to the XEmacs it works with, so gnuserv should be executed directly from `exec-directory', without using PATH. `movemail' in `exec-directory', on the other hand, is less likely to be an improvement on the movemail earlier in the PATH. In particular, it is less likely to be properly setgid. So movemail should be exec'ed using PATH. Martin
