BUG REPORT

[Stephan Menezes]

hello ,
         i  am running Red Hat Linux 7.0 on my machine and i noticed that
there is something wrong with the COMM commmand. it does not produce the
display on the standard output  i.e  monitor. let me explain the type of
operation that i have used it  in .

i have two simple text  files FILE1    and    FILE2    with the following
contents


FILE1
FILE2

ccode/server.c
ccode/server1.c
ccode/server1.c


now when i  COMM  it

$ comm   -12  FILE1  FILE2

it gives me no output .   but when i ran the command COMM on a HP-UX
machine with the same two files  FILE1 and FILE2 , it gave me the correct
output. (i.e ccode/server1.c )!! which is correct.

could you please explain this.

thanks
Stephen.
