Re: Bash vs Ksh? What's the Prob?

[J. Telep]

OK,

The version - GNU Bash, 1.14.7(1)

Here are the scripts and their output.  Script11.1 and test1 were done in
Bash, script 11.2 and test2 were performed in Ksh.  Could you take a look
and tell me what you think the problem is and possibly a resoultion?

Thanks,

Jon
