Hey,

I tried the which comand doesnt work all the time. For example..I have the zip utility residing in some other directory so when I did which zip it said no zip in ....list of directories(mentioned in the path).

Is there anyway of finding out if there is a particular utility on the UNIX server and how do I find it ?

Thanks !

[not set]# type zip

But I know zip is there because we use it ! Now we want to use PKZIP..just cant figure out how/where to find it
