My guess is that I have used a system where this didn't work, but not for a long time. If I had to guess at a system that might have a problem with the -- form, it would be either an old Sun box (which you already indicated you would not be interested in) or perhaps Sequent DYNIX/ptx 4.x. While DYNIX/ptx 4.x did get y2k patches, I still don't think it is a worthwhile porting target so I'd not recommend trying to bother verifying the allegation I just made anyway... Thanks, James.
