Looks like the correct behavior to me - the result is 7 (which is 06 + 1) left aligned, just like you asked for. Were you looking for "typeset -Z2" instead, for right aligned with zero padding in a field of width two? ~Matt -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
