We have a lot of scripts using cut as : cut -c 0-8 --works for cut (GNU coreutils) 5.97, but does not work for cut (GNU coreutils) 8.4.
Gives error -
The position needs to start with 1 for later version of cut and this is causing an issue.
Is there a way where I can have multiple cut versions installed and use the older version of cut for the user which runs the script?
or any other work around without having to change the scripts?
Thanks.

We are running on a Sun cluster using ksh.
We have a script that has been running for about six months with no issues. The script has not been modified and our results are now coming out diffrent.

Hi,
I am migrating few of the shell scripts from existing SUN Solaries to AIX.
My script contains some command like 'dos2unix' and 'unix2dos' which are not compatible in AIX flavour. Please let me know if there is any such commands in AIX which can replace these commands.
