grin...I missed his bashism's. Actually the heinous bash stuff (as far
as bourne shell is concered) is the arrays as in the lines:
while read -a line; do
echo ${line[$platform_idx]} | egrep $egrep_flags "^$platform$|^$platform,|,$platform,|,$platform$"
The "read -a" is reading into a line, and "${line[$platform_idx]}" is
accessing an elemnt of the array. Since arrays don't exist in bourne
shell which is going to be the default shell on Solaris, that would be
another explanation of the error (unless of course he was doing
"-p /usr/bin/bash" or something like it).
