uh! thanks for the tip but still I see some kind of bug in this, lets say a documentation bug 1) conv=???? is supposed to be "convert the file as per the comma separated symbol list" IMHO, "do not truncate the output file" is not a conversion in any possible imaginable way; I would understand more if it was "oflag=notrunc" 2) what is the use of "oflag=append" when one forgets "conv=notrunc" So I propose some improvements: a) add oflag=notrunc (leaving conv=notrunc for back compatibility) b) oflag=append implies conv=notrunc c) a line may be added in the man page, saying that oflag=append is useless w/o conv=notrunc I will retitle the bug a. -- Andrea Mennucc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
