"Broken" only if you consider a low output line length limit to be "broken" rather than just "inadequate" - I wouldn't consider that limit a bug, I'd just consider it a misfeature. > The solution is to get the GNU sed. "/usr/xpg4/bin/sed" seems to work also (although, as I remember, it also gives you a version of "more" that may irritate the heck out of you; as I remember, it irritated the heck out of me - I think it might have behaved like "less", which also irritates the heck out of me - I don't want pager programs to prompt me for a keystroke after they've printed out the last line of the last file, and then beep at me when I type a space, I want them to exit).
