Re: 20030113:scour.conf

Hi Robert, 

Apologies for the delayed response...

dc and bc are mathmatical tools in unix (eg desktop calculator,
and basic calculator). The perl script uses these as well as "find"
to determine which files to delete.

Check the users path and verify that bc and dc exist in the path, and make
sure they don't have a non standard "find" program in their path.

Hope this helps, 

-Jeff
