Well, I am extremely tempted to add a new feature to /usr/bin/env which could be used in situations where the previous parsing-behavior was needed. The '#!#<' behavior was really meant just as an emergency stop-gap -- and it won't go away until the next time you cvsup... :-) I'm also willing to write some more changes to sh/options.c, if that is the best place to fix the problems that these ports are running into. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
