Of course a pipe > device is included FREE with AmigaDOS V1.3 - at a store near you RSN. Amigans, rejoice! There is a version of Matt's csh on Fish 145 that does this. It was modified by Johan Widen from the 2.07 original to have this backtick argument execution and to have file name completion. (yeah!!). It requires ARP 1.1 to run. I'm just waiting for the << operator. It is the only obstacle left against unsharing real Unix shars on the Amiga. (Amiga sed is on Fish 128 and wc is on Fish 69... anything else needed?) ------ --------- = ------------------------------------------- Edwin (Deepthot) Waterloo co-op student, HCR Corporation Hoogerbeets 2A computer science and psychology uunet!utai!utcsri!hcr!edwin Me Tarzan, Unix. edwin@hcr // Freudian slips?
