Already done! You should upgrade: $ for util in head tail; do for n in 1 1K; do echo $util: $n: $(head -c $n /usr/share/dict/words | wc -c); done; $util --version| head -1; done head: 1: 1 head: 1K: 1024 head (GNU coreutils) 6.10 tail: 1: 1 tail: 1K: 1024 tail (GNU coreutils) 6.10 James. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
