Well, try to break that long line into shorter ones, eg:
sed -e 's/;/\
/g' my_signature_file
It's a bit more readable ...
And what was the eror message?

Get the pdksh package (or port), or the last version (5.2.12) from it's
main site: ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca:/pub/pdksh
(Of course, I wrote that neither bash nor zsh can handle this - if I know
well - neither of them is a real ksh.) Or get the real AT&T ksh (the BSDI
or the Linux version) , from http://www.research.att.com/orgs/ssr/reuse/ -
There is the last ksh93 version, which has very interesting features in it.
But the source is missing :-(
Bye, Gabor
