Re: ClearCase don't like files created in bash


Um I hate to disagree, but ^D appears in lots of files,
the ^D EOF convention is only for consoles, and can be
changed with stty, on a normal linux/unix console. ^D has no
other significance, certainly not for disk files.

the whole concept of an inline EOF in disk files, is a stupid
DOS holdover from CPM, even microsoft has realized this
as witness NO windows tools TIKO write ^Z as an EOF.
