## Beeblebrox (zaphod@berentweb.com):

> Interesting - when I switch to bash and try it:
> getopt --help 2> &1 | grep long
> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'

Ah, bash...

> while this one gives no message - I guess I'll try a test with this.
> $ getopt --help 2>&1 | grep long

After I re-checked this: only "2>&1" is correct and (hopefully)
portable, everything else "may or may not work", that is, fail
on every other different platform/shell.

Regards,
Christoph
