Cheers for that, I didn't thought about that.

But, that's not exactly what I wanted: '-l' switch includes only "<"
while 'grep -v "="' excludes "=". The difference is I wanted ">"
included, too (just in case).

Quick scan of portversion manpage gave me '-L' option:

so it would be like:

# portversion -vL"<"


Thanks for info!
