I considered that, too. But I don't know if everyone has that. OpenBSD has it implemented but it's intenionally not documented. The pwd source says: "The POSIX 1003.2B/D9 document has an optional -P flag" Note the word "optional". I guess the python libraries really are more reliable in this case. Stefan
