If you want the same silly behaviour, use the same shell (ksh93e, it's available for free). I don't want it, so i'm using this shell for reference purposes only. Regarding their Posix certification, i always wonder how they get away with a default shell (/bin/sh) that's still far away from being Posix. Many systems of SysV vintage still ship an obsolete awk, since they fear to rename their `nawk' (which is everything else but new these days) as the default one. I bet they won't make the Korn shell the default shell before the year 2050, in the fear that some obsolete script by some obsolete vendor might stumple across it... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
