Regarding [7195] daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Athena Bugs 02/27/91 10:02:
I disagree that there is any problem here.
athena% set v3 = "eval echo foo > /dev/null"
athena% $v3
foo
This is exactly what I'd expect. The output of "eval" is sent to
"/dev/null". The output of "echo" is sent to stdout, as it should be.
athena% set v3 = "eval (echo foo > /dev/null)"
athena% $v3
athena%
Just MHO...
