Hi Guru,
One seems to be sorting in dictionary order (-d) while the other is
doing it in ASCII, for whatever that's worth. Do you have an alias or
a script which adds -d to the sort command somewhere on one system?
BTW, read your interview in TOI yesterday. Neat. When can I have
your autograph? :-)
Regards,
