Thanks to you both. It certainly looks like BusyBorks is at fault 
here.

it's not even the first release they put in here it's 1.00-rc2, and 
as you say awk is buggy!


$ echo "one:two three"| awk -F: '{print $2}'
one:two three
$ echo "one:two three"| awk  ' FS=":" {print $2}'
one:two three


I cant seem to get it to split the line whatever I give it.

I have seen one bug which seemed to touch on this using -F , it looks 
like TS should update it if it's a prerelease and basics like this 
dont work.

I'd rather do my work that have to rebuild the whole installation. 

Not good.

thanks again for confirming my fears ;)
