Knowing practically nothing about OS/2, I assumed that it had stdin, stdout, and (probably) stderr. (On VMS they're actually SYS$INPUT and so on, but in the C run-time library, "stdin" and friends are used.) > [...] I guess *nix has a convention where "-" is stdout, yes? It's a convention used by many programs, but it's only a convention used by many programs. (For stdin or stdout, depending on context.) If a program fails to implement this convention, it's easy to end up with a file named "-". (Or an error, if your file system disallows that as a file name.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
