somehow, my shell (/bin/ksh) doesn't like the { ... } syntax here:

  $ cd src && { touch a b; mode3=2755; ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b }

it waits for the command to be continued ... I can't see why

Replacing the { ... } by ( ... ), it prints this:

  $ cd src && ( ./touch a b; mode3=2755; ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b )
  removed `b'
  `a' -> `b'

Bye,
