I agree that there was never a need for a space after the #! which is to what I think you were refering. The man page snippet above concurs. I think the man page doc as quoted is fine. At least I don't see any doc bug there. Perhaps you were refering to another piece of documentation? > <URL:http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/shebang/> A very nice reference! Thanks for posting that. Definitely a useful collection of information on this topic.
