I was about to write "that's because dash is only strict if it is invoked as /bin/sh", but that's not true - it still works. I guess that's a bug in dash, since this syntax is in fact *not* POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html SUSV2 also does not have it. I'll report a bug against dash... Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX)
