They didn't do the useful thing you wanted, but that's another issue. As for the difference between "<>" and "<(null)>", that's just a difference in the implementation of the C I/O library. When printf() and friends are passed a NULL pointer to what's supposed to be a string, the Linux version prints out the text "(null)", while the Mac version prints nothing. I don't know what the ANSI C standard says is the Right Thing to do here, but I suspect it's either "undefined" or "implementation specific". Otherwise, it looks like both Mac and UNIX versions do exactly the same thing. > What differences are there between Mac and Unix-source?
