I don't find FILEMATCH in /bin/sh on a 3B2/400 running SVR3. -- Steve Friedl V-Systems, Inc. +1 714 545 6442 3B2-kind-of-guy friedl@vsi.com {backbones}!vsi.com!friedl attmail!vsi!friedl --------- Nancy Reagan on flood-control: "Just say Noah"-----------

However, it's not in my V.3 system either. On the other hand, it was in some V.2 systems I've used. I have no idea how it was used, it was never documented; but I'd guess it was the equivalent of "noglob" in csh. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
