The existing xargs executes a command with this line: system(@run) == 0 or exit($? >> 8);
which means that the command exits when any command returns a non-zero status. This doesn't emulate the usual unix behavior. E.g., This should search all files: find . | xargs -n1 grep "something" But if the ppt version doesn't find "something" in the first file it searches, it'll quit. Should this be changed, or should another version be added (the existing one is xargs.sarathy)? Does this matter all that much? -Doug
