For more information, see: http://www.c2.net/~raph/pgpmime.html --cRRH2JBDpNRFWD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I happen to like this clutter for commands such as ``time'', where I want to have an easy way to independently redirect the output of the ``real'' command that I'm interested in, versus the output of ``time''. Doing = time -f buildworld.time make buildworld >& buildworld.log is nicer to me than something such as = time csh -c "make buildworld >& buildworld.log" > buildworld.time Though I probably would have called the flag ``-o'' instead of = ``-f'' ... just 2 cents...
