Hi.

So just to be sure:

1) You are running Linux. Which distribution, and what version? For example, Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy, GNU/Debian sarge, etch, CentOS 5, etc.

2) You are running in a terminal session, you have copied my scripts, pasted them into a file on your computer, added execute permission, and run them as I indicated, as "./p1 data1", and as "./s1", and what you see as the result on the screen in the terminal window is essentially the same as the input. Is that correct? ... cheers, drl
