That's a wonderful idea; thanks! I'll redo.

Can you please rework your patch with something like this, and then we
can ditch the nasty sed expressions above completely:
IFS="-" read comp1 comp2 comp3 comp4 <<EOF
$1
EOF
(bash has here-strings which would be nicer still, but they are not
portable enough.)
Thanks,
Ben
