My compliments on the documentation and the work around... my path was to download the ppt perl version of head http://www.perl.com/language/ppt/src/head/index.html and put the personal modification into it # Get the options. if ( $ARGV[0] =~ /-(\d+)/ ) { # # drieuxish hack to allow for the old school # head -12 file $ARGV[0] = "-n$1"; } this way I can still do head -12 file vice the standard bsd style: SYNOPSIS head [-n count | -c bytes] [file ...] ciao drieux ---
