Re: xt5250 question

Oh good... I thought this was a FreeBSD-specific problem...  I'm glad
to find out that its not :)

The problem appears to be in the xt5250 script.  Where it says:

     -V|--version)
        exec "$bindir/tn5250 -V";;

It SHOULD say:
     -V|--version)
        exec "$bindir/tn5250" -V;;

The exec command in sh wants the program name to be the first argument,
and options to be the remaining arguments.   In the first situation above,
it thinks the "-V" is part of the program name, and thus you get the
error:   "exec: /usr/local/bin/tn5250 -V: cannot execute"

Can someone make this change in CVS? 

thanks
