Hey man!!! how are you??

i don't understand the difference of command CUT with the parammeter "-b"
and "-c".

 From the info docs:

`-c CHARACTER-LIST'
`--characters=CHARACTER-LIST'
     Select for printing only the characters in positions listed in
     CHARACTER-LIST.  The same as `-b' for now, but
     internationalization will change that.


Sounds like future-proofing for Unicode support.


Cheers,
Phil
