The following reply was made to PR bin/9069; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> To: aa8vb@pagesz.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/9069: "tr" command bug Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1998 14:51:08 PST > Maybe related to stdin being a terminal. Right. Try the same with "cat" -- for example, type "a^D" (with no CR) into "cat". You see "aaD". This is just because the ^D is printed as "^" "D" "^H" "^H". Use "echo" or some other way of taking input from somewhere other than the terminal if you don't want to get confused by this.
