$NEXT_ROOT/bin is in my path, but when I check the contents of $NEXT_ROOT/bin/... it doesn't contain files for the 'ls', 'grep', or 'make' commands, among others.

Comparing two machines I have... it looks like the machine where I manually deleted NEXT_ROOT is the one that is missing these commands. On another machine, I ran the uninstall command from the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel, but it doesn't look like that command actually deletes the $NEXT_ROOT folder. So when I then installed 5.2, it installed on top of the existing NEXT_ROOT. That machine has the proper commands inside NEXT_ROOT/bin/, and they work.

So it looks to me like 5.2 does NOT install all these commands. Which is troubling. If you install on a fresh Windows box, you will not have them. If you install on top of an existing 5.0 or 5.1, without wiping the previous NEXT_ROOT, then you'll still have these commands and they'll still work. This whole situation is somewhat troubling, but I'm not sure I understand it completely. If anyone else could confirm my guesses, that would be good.

Just one quick thought: are you sure $NEXT_ROOT\bin is in your PATH?

And I'd clarify that 'grep' and 'make' don't seem to exist in the Bourne Shell installed by WO on Windows either!

It was so convenient to be able to 'make' my applications from the command line in the Bourne Shell, instead of having to use the PBWO GUI. This is very annoying.

Subject: Windows, WO5.2, Bourne shell?

I really like using the Bourne Shell that installs with WebObjects Developer on Windows. Especially for an sh script I wrote to compare and package my WO apps and frameworks for deployment on my Solaris box.

But since I upgraded to 5.2, the 'ls' command doens't work in the Bourne Shell anymore. This is very annoying for interactive use, and also prevents my sh script from working, since it wants to use the ls command at one point.

Can anyone else confirm that this is a problem, and maybe suggest how to fix it?
