Hi Daniel,

Humph!  Adding "../src" to the path was already done, but is inadequate.
In order to test certain features, I needed a shar archive that recursed,
so I placed it in a temp directory (favoring $TMPDIR, but otherwise /tmp).
Once the script does a "cd" over there, "../src" does not work very well.
So:

     PATH=`cd ..;pwd`/src:$PATH

Yummy.  Thanks for the report.  Regards, Bruce
