I normally use bash and this works in bash:
echo "hello stderr" >/dev/stderr
echo "hello stdout" >/dev/stdout
But in /bin/sh:
$ echo hello stderr >/dev/stderr
cannot create /dev/stderr: directory nonexistent
$ echo hello stdout >/dev/stdout
cannot create /dev/stdout: directory nonexistent
$

I'm guessing this isn't supposed to work this way?
"makewhatis -v" doesn't like seem to like it:
law> makewhatis -v
/usr/sbin/makewhatis: cannot create /dev/stderr: directory nonexistent
I invoked the -v when a simple "makewhatis" yielded
"cd: can't cd to /cygdrive/c/Documents"
Apropos is a little confused about one of it's lines.
Does anyone else get garbage on this:
apropos options|wc -l|grep "^SYN"
"wc" gives this:
law> apropos options|grep "^SYN"|wc
1 2332 13924
That's one heck of a long line. Do I just have some junk somewhere?
I could attach it, but I don't want to unnecessarily send all that
junk out if it's easily reproducible.
