bobcat:bob(L3) ~ [1001] $ which whichcd
/usr/bin/whichcd
bobcat:bob(L3) ~ [1002] $ rpm -qf `!!`
rpm -qf `which whichcd`
whichcd-0.3.1-1
bobcat:bob(L3) ~ [1003] $ whichcd whichcd
You appear to be running Red Hat Linux 9.
I'll search for rpms for that version.

Searching for whichcd...
No match found!

I had to Google for "whichcd home".  Source and RPM for whichcd are
here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/whichcd/

Handy as a shirt pocket.
