Thanks a lot for your answer! I'm using SunOS 5.10 and its manual pages say nothing about modifying function's arguments... So AFAICS, calling these function with duplicate arguments is the one way to preserve value of original variable...
I consider to start using malloc and stuff later, when I get some experience on pointer operations...
cheers

Hi, okay, the following command was given to me in a script, but it's not working and there's little to no help on dirname. What is wrong with the following line? I'm just trying to save the current directory to use later in subsequent scripts.
