Hi Rene,

I'll test your suggestion later tonight (US time) when I get home from work.  Sorry I
don't know much about awk. (I usually break out perl for any job I used to give awk) When
I ran the t5000 script in --verbose mode, all I could see was awk complaining about the
length directive.

It *is* possible that there's some kind of quoting/character escape problem which Linux
tolerates but is causing the syntax error on my home system. (It's Mac OS 10.4.1/Darwin)

Thanks,

--Mark
