Re: tramp and executable-find

Hi Michael,

Can you comment on remote flag mentioned by Philip as well? 

Here it is the docs for it:

REMOTE is non-nil, search on the remote host indicated by
`default-directory' instead.

Thanks,

Ivan

`executable-find' is not designed to be supported by a file name handler
like Tramp. It will always check for binaries on the local host.
