Install bash and use that. Not disagreeing, it *is* awful. if IBM is still serious about USS they need to spend a (relatively) SMALL amount of effort to add standard things like bash, curl, and dos2unix. It's a huge blocker to anyone trying to do real work there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
