- It is writ:
- Side note: the Instructional WorkBench (IWB), in its Unix(R)
- Fundamentals course, makes specific note that one should avoid
- making files starting with '+' or '-'. It makes this the specific
- subject of one of its programmed-learning questions.
-
- EVERY Unix manual I've seen has said something like "It is unwise
- to use file names starting with '-'". And I've used Unix since
- good ol' Edition 5 ... Don't people read manuals anymore?
