On my Solaris systems, ksh |has "set -A", but neither bash nor sh do. Install one of the ksh verisions |from the ports. Ok, maybe it isn't a universal Bourne-ism then. Reason I asked is my /bin/sh on IRIX at work has set -A. -- Randall Hopper aa8vb@nc.rr.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
