Safer, anyway. UNIX vendors have to be fairly conservative about what they do to the Bourne shell, because they use sh scripts to boot their systems, build their kernels, install their software, etc. I program in the subset of sh that's understood by BSD sh. My scripts run on dozens of different systems without modification, including all three flavors of AIX. -- Chuck Karish karish@mindcraft.com Mindcraft, Inc. (415) 323-9000
