IMO, if you intend to work on a fix you should follow the suggestion of the bash maintainer to switch over to using "printf" - not only for bash but for all cases. Of course a fallback may be required. After all according to bash maintainer: "Use of `echo' in portable applications has been deprecated for years." See: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-bash@gnu.org/msg02150.html I guess the bash maintainer can give you insight on how to properly detect the bash version (if at all necessary). _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
