> + <item>the <tt>-a</tt> and <tt>-o</tt> <tt>test</tt> operators > + must be supported</item> If people think this is a good idea (and I am not one of those people), then this wording is much too vague. At least one shell implements '-a' and '-o' as unary primaries, whereas what you mean by this patch is almost certainly to mandate support of '-a' and '-o' as binary logical operators. Again, the list operators "&&" and "||" can handle any legitimate need addressed by the -a/-o binaries. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
