Does this also mean that either/both of the following are broken? echo ${pref}**/CVS(:h) | sed 's/CVS//' case $(tty)(:t) in I'd be somewhat discomfited by that. What was the rationale for changing that behavior, again? } The other change related to ~ with EXTENDED_GLOB. Before ~ was only } treated as exclusion character if it was not at the end of the word and } the word contained other glob characters. This allowed you to write } } ls *~ } rm foo~ } dd if=~/foo of=bar } } etc. None of these work anymore. That loss is quite unpleasant. I add my vote for fixing or backing out that particular change. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
