- Have you had problems with bash's builtin echo? I have been using bash
- version 1.12.5 with 0.98 pl6 since pl6 came out, and the builtin echo
- doesn't seem broken to me.

- I would say if it isn't broken, don't worry about it. If you are having
- problems, someone recently posted echo.c; also, I think that an echo program
- was ported (from SYSV?) and is probably available on one of the Linux ftp
- sites.
