If RS contains more than # one character, the results are unspecified. If RS is null, then # records are separated by sequences consisting of a <newline> plus # one or more blank lines, leading or trailing blank lines shall not # result in empty records at the beginning or end of the input, and a # <newline> shall always be a field separator, no matter what the # value of FS is. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
