Rubbish. Sure you can. You just have to run a real shell. :) Basically, this is a long-standing misfeature of csh, which never existed in the original bourne shell and which happily has never been emulated. There is no syntax for redirecting stderr any differently from stdout. Bill Joy apparently never needed it, and no one else (over 20 years!) ever bothered to add it. I have no idea -- none whatsoever -- why Unix vendors insist on shipping this dinosaur as the default shell when there are *so* many better options available as free software. I guess Apple decided not to buck the trend and try to fix the command line they were trying so hard to hide. :) Seriously, I'd be shocked beyond measure if bash didn't build and install just fine on OS X. Use it, it's vastly better than csh. Andy -- Andrew J.
