Still doesn't work...
hivemind# foreach f ( *.dist ) ; cp $f `basename $f .dist` ; end
foreach?

Thanks for the tip on bash, but I didn't try it.
Im choosing not to install bash, just to copy Chora/Horde files.
Maybe in the future, when I may need it (bash) on a recuring basis, I'll 
install it.

To Jan:
The reason for the patch, is because since one of Chora2/Horde3 minimum 
requirements
is php 4.3.0, most likely php's cli would be part of the system.
Im just showing that one can use the already available tools to get the 
job done.
The patch is merely a recommendation.  If the horde team doesn't feel,
that it should be included, thats fine.  Im not going to argue on why it 
should.
At least its in the mailing list archive...

Thank You for your time.
