A while back, I ran into a problem because nroff was turning all hyphens into en-dashes or something similarly Unicode-y. This becomes a problem when I try to copy and paste --bloody-long-gnu-option-dwim-dammit-now from the man page and the program chokes on the unexpected hyphen characters. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- Just don't create a file called -rf. :-) -- Larry Wall ---- --- --
