Hi,

while comparing code behavour between Cocoa and GNUstep I noticed that gnustep is capable of just esecuting a task with the executable. E.g. I can say "diff" as launchpath (which resides in /usr/bin/diff) and NSTask will execute on GNUstep, but not on Cocoa. On cocoa I need to specify "/usr/bin/diff". The executable is in a standard place.
Which behaviour is correct? I read the documentation and it says :

/path/

   The path to the executable.

Which leads to think that the Apple behaviour is consistent, since it implies the whole path.

What do you think?

Riccardo
