Well, I suggested it because it's a common mistake, one I think we've all stumbled across at one time. But thinking about it, nothing should be done...having tripped over it once (well it took me a couple of times), it's stuck very well by now, and since all the shells in BLFS support the original syntax, even better. BTW, ash and zsh both support either syntax. tcsh does not like the $(command). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
