Ryan,

Did you try this?

if [ 1.2 > 1.0 ]; then

   echo yes
else echo no
fi

Worked for me.

I don't know any unix listservs... so I hope this is ok.

I am trying to do the following:

if [ 1.2 -gt 1.0 ]; then

   echo yes
else echo no
fi

It alwys comes out no? Anyway to get around this?

Also when I do:

expr 0 + 0, I get a $? of 1, which kills my error handling. any idea why?
