Hi Bill, Thanks for the report. 2.0a is pretty old. Using the latest version, your example works just fine. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/textutils-2.0.19.tar.gz BTW, `b' is the only option for which applying it to both the starting and ending parts of a key specifier makes sense. For all of the others it's ok, but redundant. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
