I am running SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3 ... expr gives a syntax error if you try
to use the * operator. example
expr 5 * 2
The above gives a syntax error whereas
expr 5 + 2
gives 7 as you would expect. The documentation says that * is the
multiplication operator... Can anybody else verify this error ?
For what it is worth, the divide operator works fine.
