(I know what you think, > Andreas ;-) ). If i understand correctly it will only change something if you do: command [n]>&2 |& command As this is not a useful construct , I think that it is most likely going to be used only by people wanting to experiment with |& that are going to sendbug reports because the result is not what you would expect because it's not consistent with "command 2>&1 >& command." On the other hand zsh, after you disable multios, seems to behave like bash does now ... I personally vote for changing it. (Though I'm not really a big fan of |& anyway, that's so different from ksh |&....) As an aside the CHANGES file talks about >>& while in fact only &>> has been implemented. my 2 cents... Pierre
