On a normal BSD system, if we created a script foo: #!/bin/echo -f ....made foo executable, then did a "foo arg", we would get "-f arg". Under 386BSD, though, we only get "arg" -- all arguments on the #! command line are discarded. -- -- Email info@NeoSoft.com for info on getting interactive Internet access.
