I got some strange results after trying them in order to make the manual a bit clearer, but I don't use them often enough to be sure. coproc cat print foo >&p read line <&p simply hung --- it did that without job control, too. In ksh it read the expected line and the coprocess terminated. Trying to close the coprocess input seemed to provoke some even stranger things. -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +39 050 844536 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Dipartimento di Fisica, Via Buonarroti 2, 56127 Pisa, Italy
