Hi Werner, > I suggest that you make `gdb' a shell alias to `gdb -q' to avoid the > noise at startup.
And the same for bc(1) and `bc -q', etc. Note, dc(1), embedded in bc for the GNU version, doesn't spew forth; surely a bug!? :-) How I wrinkle my nose at that noise. I think RMS should have put Unix's insight of having no needless output for the user to scan, unlike say DEC VMS, above the promotion of GNU. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
