Thank you! That fixed the problem (output shown below). Is there anywhere on the GNU web site where I might have been able to find the 2.0.11 version on my own? 2.0 is the latest version on ftp.gnu.org in /gnu/sh-utils/. I'd have expected to find info on known bugs, change lists, links to alpha versions, etc. at http://www.gnu.org/software/shellutils/shellutils.html or somewhere not too far away from there, but after a total of half an hour spent searching around the GNU site I still haven't been able to find any such information. It's unfortunate that I had to annoy a live human to get this info. *sigh* Thanks again!

I tried testing several systems [...] > bash-2.03# src/date --version > date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 In all cases I saw the version was 2.0. If possible you should try the newer 2.0.11. I believe there have been some fixes since 2.0 which might improve your behavior. The latest test release is available at: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/sh-utils-2.0.11.tar.gz ftp://freefriends.org/gnu/fetish/sh-utils-2.0.11.tar.gz Hope that helps Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
