I'd be happy with SUSv3, UP relevant to non-interactive use, and the appropriate subset of XSI. Of course, you realize that this reverses the 'echo -n' exception and that people will cry. The other problem, then, is that we will have a situation wherein no shell in Debian would be suitable as /bin/sh (unless I'm assuming incorrectly about pdksh). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
