Thanks, I have long experience with Solaris' /usr/xpg4/bin. I don't expect that there's anything wrong with using those tools at all, and confirmed that coreutils-7.2 built and passed tests with /usr/xpg4/bin first in the shell's search path. However, it is unusual enough to put that directory so early in ones path that I suspect there might be something else unusual about Tim's PATH. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
