I'm sure there are more people and tools out there for linux using -I then there are for solaris. This is an incredibly Linux-centric point of view. You sound worse than the BSD bigots. There are many, many, many different unices that are *not* Linux. You can't hope to change them all to be Just Like Linux (tm). You'll be lucky if any of them follow Linux behaviour, rather than the other way around. Hint: Adopt some cross-platform habits like: "bzip2 -dc foo.tar.bz2 | tar xf -" Not only will you then become more immune to changes in behaviour that was non-standard to begin with, you'll also find adjustment to other systems a lot easier. -- Sam Couter | Internet Engineer | http://www.topic.com.au/ sam@topic.com.au | tSA Consulting | OpenPGP key available on key servers OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C
