I use ksh on HP9000/400. I read the manual of ksh and found process substitution which seems like very useful. Here's from manual Process Substitution This feature is available only on systems that support the /dev/fd directory for naming open files. I asked (Y)HP's sales people and they didn't know about it. Are there any patches to implement /dev/fd or is it a saparate product or is it a documented feature but not implemented? :-< It might be an ancient FAQ but I'm a late comer so please let me know. Thanks in advance -- ==================================================================== Kinichi Kitano (kitano@pa.yokogawa.co.pa) =====================================================================
