A simple grep command, 'grep -vf patternfile inputfile' works on Linux, but the same command doesn't work on FreeBSD-6.1. To make it work I found I had to use -F to force the interpretation of fixed-strings. I don't know why it made a difference from Linux, and nothing in the man page appears to mention why. Kind regards, Stephen Allen --
