This worked on all the unix variants I tried except debian linux, which uses bash for sh instead of "the real sh". I no longer have a copy of ash to try. I tried: Solaris 2.4 Debian linux 1.1 Irix 5.2 OSF/1 3.2 SunOS 4.1.1 Ultrix 4.2 Sure sounds like this interpretation of ^ comes from upstream...
The use of ^ is quite explicitly mentioned in my V7 manual and appears to predate the other forms if anything. Alan
