When I was using BSD Unix on a VAX, ~/bin was where I would put any little scripts and customizations I liked to use. Not too many, though, because I'd lose them at the end of the semester. File names were limited to 14 characters and by convention were rarely capitalized. -- Jim Janney

I'm pretty sure nothing automatically creates ~/bin on OS X. I remember creating one for myself ages ago, but I just checked a vanilla account and it doesn't have one. And ~/bin isn't in the default PATH environment variable, I add it in my .bashrc. That other account also doesn't have ~/Applications. > > > > os x also has the usual unix bin directories, /bin and /usr/bin. > > When I was using BSD Unix on a VAX, ~/bin was where I would put any > little scripts and customizations I liked to use.

IIRC, BSD removed the 14-character limitation that was in AT&T Unix at the time. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***

Eventually yes, but I think not in 4.1. But file names were still something you typed, so there was an incentive to keep them short. -- Jim Janney

But file names were still > something you typed, so there was an incentive to keep them short. I recall learning in the early 1980s that COBOL supported 31(?) character variable names and wondering who on earth would use those. The amount of typing apart, many of us were still using 80/132 character wide terminals, and punched cards were still a common medium for programs. You wouldn't have been able to fit more than 2 such variables on a line. -- Paul Sture
