There's a minor bug in the useful library utility run_unix_program
which is in the file
	$usepop/pop/lib/auto/run_unix_program.p

The line
	or fast_subscrs(1, path) == '/' do
                                ^^^

should be
	or fast_subscrs(1, path) == `/` do

I.e. change string quotes to character quotes.

Without this fix you cannot give the program a full path name for a
unix command. Presumably not many people have wanted this option,
or the bug would have been found and fixed long ago.
