On any Win platform, the configure script terminates lines with CR-LF rather than LF (the Unix/Mac convention). Version 3.02 of sed sees the LF as a line terminator but thinks the CR is a character (IIRC, it treats it as an illegal one- character command). Version 4.09 has no such problem. I haven't tested 1.4. (Does anyone know why the number switched like that?) For the moment, I'm applying the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" principle. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
