UNTIL not exist("file_name")

and got '0' or '1' displayed but no syntax
error as I should.

Correct synax is:
UNTIL (0 = exist("file_name")) ; not exist

this behaviour is in version 3.45 and 3.55.

Will this fixed or will a NOT operator be in the next release?

Sample to test:

$target_file = "c:\tp\tempw.doc"
? "target_file(1):" $target_file

$loop_cnt=0
$loop_cnt_max=100

do
$loop_cnt=$loop_cnt + 1
? "target_file(2):" $target_file

until not exist($target_file)
or
$loop_cnt > $loop_cnt_max

exit

Example:
[CODE]
$target_file = "c:\tp\tempw.doc"
? "target_file(1): " $target_file

$loop_cnt=0
$loop_cnt_max=100

while (exist($target_file) or $loop_cnt > $loop_cnt_max)

$loop_cnt=$loop_cnt + 1
? "target_file(2):" $target_file

loop

exit

And as there is an other function to solve the problem you have it is not a function or operator that needs to be implemented.

(NB. Kixtart32 is not the same as Novell's logon script.)
