Not having Posix available I (finally) checked with the (Single) Unix spec (which is available at http://www.opengroup.org/pubs/catalog/web.htm (note lack of 'l')). It is unspecified what a first line starting with '#!' means. Ie, to be portable, do not use one. Posix anyone? PS I still stand by my previous email stating my remembering that '#!/' works everywhere, whereas '#!/' does not work on certain (very rare) Unices that read and compare 4 bytes of a file. bengt kleberg
