You can always use ./ prefix to avoid option clashes, and for most tools, you can also use -- strategically. Also, while '+' is not allowed in short 8.3 DOS file names, these days, all practical platforms that target FAT file systems also support long file names where '+' is perfectly fine: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#File-System- Conventions Besides, think of 'g++', as an example of using + in file names. -- Eric Blake _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
