in reply to Printing - on windows

Your dash in -rmall seems to be a unicode character (U+2013, '–'), not the expected normal ASCII dash '-'.  Can't tell you how that got into the code, though.

    replacing the - with a - solved the problem. Reflecting, I think the unicode - came into the perl program because I copied it from the Clearcase manual (HTML). Of course I didn't realise the conversion conflict with Unicode/ASCII. Many thanks!
