That's the point, exactly. People (well, scripts written by people) depend on the dd report output format. > Now, a -h button or similar would solve that, but thats fugly. Given dd is non-unixy in its commandline syntax, this would rather be a ``conv='' suboption. Or its own ``summary=human-readable'' option. Definitely not a dash-prefixed option. > So, while I'm all for it, I think the greybeards need to weigh > in on this :) It's not grey, you damn kid. It's ``exhausted tone''. Grumpy
