One more than minor difference between shell scripts starting with the chars ": gork" and "#! /bin/sh" is that on older systems the wrong shell will be started for the second case. On this system (ki4pv, running xenix) the second form causes /bin/csh to be used. This is because the only test made is for the first char being the '#' char. This problem is common among older versions of eunuchs. tanner andrews, ki4pv -- Tanner Andrews, KI4PV
