- I have just written a little sh script on a Sun. Of course I used things like
- "echo -n" or "tar xvf tarfile 2> errfile > outfile". When I tried to run it on
- HP-UX I found that things went wrong/different from what I expected.
-
- So now my question is: Is there any list of features that are common in almost
- all Unix (c)sh variations? Is there any kind of document/book that helps ?
-
- Tomorrow I might be writing an awk script, will I ever find out on which
- platforms it will work ?
