Shrug. That I cannot answer. It is in my O'Reilly book and works on
both the linux and tru64 machines I have access to...
On the Dec running Tru64 unix
$ man test
number1 -eq number2
TRUE if the integers number1 and number2 are
algebraically equal. Any of the comparisons
-ne, -gt, -ge, -lt, and -le can be used in place of
-eq.
On Linux:
$ man test
INTEGER1 -ne INTEGER2
INTEGER1 is not equal to INTEGER2
