To determine if you have the NOCLOBBER environment variable set, use the following commands:

set | more
env | more

If NOCLOBBER or noclobber appear in either list, please consult the manual page (using the man command) for the shell that you are using or your System Administrator for information about unsetting environment variables.

MORE INFORMATION
