> > perhaps a simple bash2 script to update bash1 scripts? I suspect it's not so simple. While I only found two problems here, I'm sure there are more. An option to bash (maybe --syntax to do a syntax check, no more) would have been a good thing. It would have been nice to be able to check everything with a pocket copy of bash-2 before officially installing it. -- Cheers John Summerfield http://os2.ami.com.au/os2/ for OS/2 support.
