OpenBSD's sed technicaly supports command concatation with ";" on the command line but it breaks "branch" without label. Which correctly branch to the end of the script on GNU sed. On OpenBSD, to get the same behavior you would need to define a label as the last instruction and branch to it. That might be a bug though. (branch without label works as expected from inline scripts) -- Hugo Villeneuve <h...@eintr.net> http://EINTR.net/
