So some script or program in a port is invoking some other program (in the same port?) with an option after an operand? Have you considered filing a bug upstream with the maintainer of the incorrect script or program to have them put the option before the operands? There's no good reason for a script or program to put options after operands. Indeed, the script or program will fail on Linux system too (if the user sets POSIXLY_CORRECT). Philip Guenther
