Lines: 15 Re: From: rpw3@fortune.UUCP Spencer, the "set noglob" would NOT be too late (at least on our fairly stock 4.1bsd). Sorry, but Spencer's right. The reason your test worked, while the "tset" invocation doesn't, is that tset is invoked inside backquotes. When tset produces things like "li#24:co#80" the C shell interprets everything from the first # on as a comment. The set noglob apparently doesn't get around it. (This is on a fairly old 4.1BSD system.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay
