How about this: | | Thanks, Mike. | | But why would you want to accept an option that you don't support? | | Personally, I don't think -e support needs to be optional. :-) | Well, I guess I'm not sure as to the context of when the defined eflag override is used. IMO, if a shell script is using 'echo -e blah', then it shouldn't break on an 'echo' that has been compiled with the eflag implicitly enabled. Also, I was just following the original broken code, so that the previous test case would work as before. ;) Mike -- Mike Heffner <mheffner@[acm.]vt.edu> Fredericksburg, VA <mikeh@FreeBSD.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
