Well, I think we're far beyond the point where the parochial "Unix / Linux is all there is" mentality is tenable. So when writing shell scripts it really is incumbent upon the author of that script to accommodate arbitrary file names. It's not really difficult. At worst, it's a bit tedious, but after you do it for a while, it becomes second nature when you're in "scripting mode." > -- > Cheers, > Carlos E. R.
