hi!
   I would kindly bring to your notice an error in the functionality of the shell 
program 'expr'. The program malfunctions whenever we try to evaluate an expression 
containing the symbols '<' or '>'. After hours of debugging, I noticed that the Unix 
shell by default uses these symbols for redirection, so the command never gets to see 
these symbols. So, inspite of the mention of the symbols in the manual documenation 
and the in-file documentation, i.e. using the 'expr --help' command, the functionality 
of those is not realised.

   I would be glad if you could notify me of any improvements taken in this regard and 
a roundabout solution to this problem, if any using 'expr'.

Udai
