Nick ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 18:38:00 +0000 From: karl@freefriends.org (Karl Berry) To: nicholas.dokos@hp.com cc: bug-texinfo@gnu.org Subject: Re: Nick Dokos: texi2dvi egrep regexp texi2dvi: locale-dependent error in egrep [A-z] (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2010-03/msg00031.html and following). Has anything come of that? Yes, I already changed it at that time to [A-Za-z]. However, of course that was in the development sources, so people using the latest (= old) release aren't going to be helped. texi2dvi is a standalone script so people with problems could conceivably download it and use it themselves. Not that I'd especially recommend that as a widespread practice, of course. I don't know when the next full release will be. karl ------- End of Forwarded Message
