Ok, I have created a patch for review that makes strings et al the "No 
such file" message when a file is found not to exist.  This replaces the 
"No such file or directory" message that was displayed.

I have verified each program with test arguments and I am confident I
have identified all cases and not broken anything by making these
revisions.
