Would everyone agree that new command-line scripts must accept "--help" (and include relevant help, of course) ?

It also should say what it does. Stuff like: $ mcomp --help usage: /usr/bin/mcomp dosfile [cmpoptions] unixfile is bad.

Should it also be the standard that command-line scripts should not perform any action unless an argument is passed?

Probably in general, if it's something that's not reversible, yeah. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
