of course seq is /usr/bin/seq ! (or wherever it is on your path.) What does it have to do with Fish? How can Fish have a possibly-a-builtin, possibly-not?(for me, 'type seq' just says 'seq is /usr/bin/seq' ...) Isn't it against Fish's philosophy to duplicate external tools that don't need to be built into a shell? Is Mac OS X 'seq' broken, under-featured, (or nonexistent?)? I would be unsurprised. In 10.3 (the last version I used regularly), I know they shipped a version of 'find' that enjoyed segfaulting (or some weird error, I forget exactly) when you forgot that their version of the 'find' command didn't support omitting the path bit (you had to pass '.'). Admittedly, I think they just copied the tools from BSD, but that doesn't mean they were good tools... -Isaac ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
