The coreutils changelog entry suggests the answer isn't that easy: coreutils (5.96-3) unstable; urgency=low * The POSIX compatability level is now set to POSIX 1003.1-2001, which affects the syntax for several commands. For transition purposes, "sort +number" and "tail +number" will be supported for the etch release. Note that these usages are deprecated, and will be removed in etch+1; the recommended usage is "sort -k number" and "tail -n +number". Also, "uniq +number" should be replaced with "uniq -s number" and "touch number filename" should be replaced with "touch -t number filename". To revert to the older syntax, set the environment variable _POSIX2_VERSION to "199209". -- Michael Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 27 May 2006 12:56:18 -0400 -- Regards, Mario Lang Graz University of Technology mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Department Computing http://www.ZID.TUGraz.at/lang/ Phone: +43 (0) 316 / 873 - 6897 /____________________________________________________________/ /_Apparently a teacher has been arrested in the UK in possession_/ /of a compass, protractor, and straight edge.
