I can't find the cut command on the NeXT. There is no man page either. Is it there? Am I being hopelessly SysV again? If so, does NeXT/BSD have an alternate? I really need this for a lot of scripts I run. -- Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA 412-471-5320 ...!uunet!pitt!investor!rbp rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us

No, but you can pick up the cut+paste package via anonymous ftp from the comp.sources.unix archives at ftp.uu.net (same machine as uunet.uu.net). The last version of it that I picked up had one minor, though irritating, bug, but it was fairly easy to work around it. >have an alternate?

You might not want to clobber "paste", but to name it something different. -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us NeXT/PostScript developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785 (fax 851-1470)

Jon LaBadie was nice enough to mail me a shell script he wrote to emulate cut. There are a couple things that are different from cut(1), but it seems quite sufficient for normal use. If anyone wants a copy of this, e-mail me. If enough want it, I will post. john -- | John R.
