This is a good suggestion; thanks. dd could support 'dd bs=0xe0000' as a pure extension to POSIX, since POSIX requires that the operands of 'x' must be positive. However, that's pretty flaky, and I'd rather not do that. (Try parsing "dd bs=0xe0000x10x0x10" in your head. :-) Given that a POSIX shell has an easy way to address this issue, perhaps we should just leave things be. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
