I'm writing a couple of programs in C for general use in our lab. I've been using typical unix syntax, i.e., $ ruthx -e Where "-e" is one of several switches. The problem is that another switch is "-E". I'm trying to figure out why / where the "-E" gets munged to "-e". I can get around it by using quotes as in $ ruthx "-E" DCL usually turns everything to uppercase, so can someone explain what is happening here? roland -- Roland Roberts, University of Rochester BITNET: roberts@uornsrl Nuclear Structure Research Lab INTERNET: rbr4@uhura.cc.rochester.edu 271 East River Road UUCP: rochester!ur-cc!uhura!rbr4 Rochester, NY 14267 AT&T: (716) 275-8962
