I think that grep does too. I haven't analysed it very well, but it seems to me that unbalanced qoutes kill it. For example: fgrep " sends my machine to its death. Anybody else notice this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I noticed as well that when I run grep and forget to pipe or use a filespec parameter I lock my machine hard. I am not at home so I can't check the version of the grep, but I believe I got it with djgpp off one of the ftp sites ( two weeks ago or so ). Any cause? Any solution? I will recompile the code if I have to. TIA cat "Software development is a state of writing better software to allow users to think less.
