Hi
NEWS announces the new fltexpr builtin but doesn't mention you have to
enable it.
BTW, fltexpr is so much closer to let than to expr, wouldn't it be better
called letflt? (Not fltlet - that sounds like a baby flt :)
Cheers ... Duncan.

Hi Chet,
`help lcut` implies to me that columns specified -b or -c should go to
separate elements of ARRAY (unlike what cut does), but they do not.
| 20:20:34$ lcut -a i -c1,2,3 abc
| 20:30:13$ echo ${i[0]}
| abc
| 20:30:23$ echo ${i[1]}
|
| 20:30:42$
Cheers ... Duncan.

other elements ARRAY used to have. I tried 3 alternatives:
Alternative A: put last line of output in ARRAY[0] but preserve any other
elements.
Alternative B: empty out the array then put lines of output in successiv

Hi,
I found the following 3 items. They are addressed by the patch in next email.
