Message-ID: <87tuebg691.fsf@turtle-trading.net> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a script in rc that needs to compare numbers.  It
seems that rc does not do math, so I try to use bc for that.  But I
encounter this:

  term% echo '1 < 2' | bc
  stdin:1 syntax error
  2

man bc says this should work, right?

Thanks, benny
