Correction on the suggestion: it would need to do 'strings' or something to find it. The output of a strings on the .o file is "GROMACSXÇÙÖÔÁÃâçCÈ". grep ROMACS does not find this in the file, however; egrep and fgrep do, as would 'strings [.o file] | grep'. I note discussion of this at: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-regression/2001-03/msg00054.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2001-03/msg00491.html I note in grep's manpage: INPUT FILES The input files must be text files. -Allen -- Allen Smith http://cesario.rutgers.edu/easmith/ September 11, 2001 A Day That Shall Live In Infamy II "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin _______________________________________________ gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
