Hi List,

`cut` was more flexible in pre5 as in cvs from today.
See, what I mean:


pre5:
-----
# echo "abc = 123" | cut -f2 -d "="
  123


CVS from today:
---------------
# echo "abc = 123" | cut -f2 -d "="
cut: only one type of list may be specified



BTW. I use a shell script, to parse a config file. This doesn't work 
anymore.  :-(



Alfred
