Good question; I don't know. I actually thought that dash was more featureful than I now (reading the man page) see that it is. dash(1) says: Only features designated by POSIX, plus a few Berkeley extensions, are being incorporated into this shell. Perhaps someone else knows exactly what the "few" extensions are? -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
