As revisions go by, the return on automating them seems greater.  I've built
up the following script files across 1.5.3, 1.5.5, and 1.5.6 and they seem
reasonably solid.  Because of differences between systems, it seems unlikely
that the process can be entirely automated, but I found these scripts a great
help in avoiding silly and time-consuming mistakes.
 
Can anyone explain sed's behaviour?  I've used a work-around, but a clear
explanation (either of failure in sed, or my understanding) would be nice.
 
Good luck - Will
