Well, if printf mimics C's printf, it's got to print 'A' :-) Also, I'm having some trouble with my patch. I've applied the patch and did a "make". Now, in my coreutils/src/, I have the executables. "printf" is working fine, as I expected it to work. Now, when I do a "make install", it's getting installed to /usr/local/bin (Fedora Core 2 system). Now, I got a printf in /usr/bin...I deleted it and added /usr/local/bin to my path. `printf "%c" 65' is still outputting '6' but `/usr/local/bin/printf "%c" 65' is giving 'A'. Any idea what's going wrong?

If any real programmers are around at 9am it's because they were up all night. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
