Sigh... this was really a braindead question... I confused&&mixed-up Solaris /usr/bin/tr with AST tr. Solaris /usr/bin/tr is a mess and doesn't support multibyte characters nor does it comply with any POSIX/SUS standards or sanity... while AST tr is at least conforming to POSIX+sanity+XPG4... and AFAIK the only missing bit for XPG6 conformance is the "-C" option... ... sorry for the mess... it's 1:00h AM here... ;-( ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list ast-developers@research.att.com https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
