I KNOW it's ugly to cram tokens together... :-( But my claim is still valid: dmr should have chosen something else. 1) Someone said `@' was the kill-line character, which is a bug itself - it should have been ^X or ^U or something alike - OK, dmr could have chosen `$' PLEASE, don't let anybody mention ANSI conformance, or grrrrr 2) As Norman Diamond has pointed out: dmr DID fix `a=-b'... -- "If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, |Maarten Litmaath @ VU Amsterdam: it's probably wrong."
