Under the XSI extensions section, which are not required by Debian policy, thus the report. Specially because: $ bash -c 'echo "\\n"' \n $ dash -c 'echo "\\n"' $ posh -c 'echo "\\n"' $ zsh -c 'echo "\\n"' $ ksh -c 'echo "\\n"' \n $ mksh -c 'echo "\\n"' $ pdksh -c 'echo "\\n"' (output ends here) Hope you get what I mean. > > -- > Thomas E.
