Re: [PATCH] Replace "echo -n" with printf in shell scripts.

printf is a bash builtin ... not sure about other shells.

It's a builtin in zsh and in ksh, and /not/ in tcsh here (Fedora rawhide)

zsh-4.2.6-3.fc7
ksh-20060214-1.1
tcsh-6.14-13

It might be special configuration, but as they are mentioned in the manpages
I'd guess not.
