That one is looking good ... but while we're at it:

Anyone tried this, i.e. a Zero as INCREMENT?

  $ seq 1 0 2

This is equal to `yes 0`. Well, this is probably a (not
documented) feature, but in the following examples, the "1"
should be printed only once, shouldn't it?

  $ seq 1 0 1
  $ seq 1 0.0 1

(BTW: "seq 2 0 1" works, i.e. doesn't print anything.)

Have a nice day,
Berny
