hi list,


both behavior and code indicate that split(1)'s  `-e' (split by regular=
=20
expression) doesn't play along with either `-n' (line count) or `-f' (o=
utput=20
file prefix). the former is somewhat understandable, but the later is s=
trange=20
in lieu of `-s' (output file suffix) working just fine.

that by accident or is there some rationale?
