Hmm, which version are you running? This fix was applied post 2.0.5 (hence it would be in 2.1) ---------------------------- revision 1.2 date: 1995/07/07 08:23:52; author: rgrimes; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 This fixes 'split -l NNN foo'. As it stands split will complain about an 'illegal line count' becuase it's looking at the wrong end pointer (ep) to detect any extra characters after the NNN. Submitted by: Rich Murphey <rich@freebsd.org> This should probably get pulled into 2.0.6 and 2.1.0 ------ Nate
