Imagine seeing /you/ here! =3D8^) Portability is good, but as I've been reading Diego "Flameeyes" various posts as he struggles to get Gentoo/FBSD up and running, and with Gentoo/Darwin and etc. in mind, I'm sure one of the requests is going to be making it full borne shell standard compatible, therefore, no "bash-isms". Likewise, keep in mind POSIX compatibility when making any sed/grep/file/etc calls. Don't assume the GNU versions. If you need the info, I believe most of the manpages specify where the GNU versions deviate from POSIX. I'm sure Flameeyes will be glad to help, as it'll mean less porting issues he and others need to worry about later. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
