Hi! Ok, I was working with the Stylewriter I driver Monroe Williams
wrote, and was tinkering with an "sh" shell script with the following,
totally valid line in it:
/usr/local/sbin/lpstyl 1<> /dev/tty01
When I do an "sh -n" (don't run, just check), on "script", I get:
script: 5: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
Any other system I've done a syntax check w/, it works fine. The netbsd
sh manpage I have claim it works... I even downloaded a newer 1.2ish sh
binary (I think they're identical, though), and the same thing
happened.. any ideas? (Could someone try checking that line on their
system and see what happens?)
tia,
David Bushong
