Hi Jack,

Mathematica 5.1 gives me the following results:

In[1]:=
b = {x == 1, 1 <= y <= 2, z == 3}
Out[1]=
{x == 1, 1 <= y <= 2, z == 3}
In[2]:=
b /. (a_) <= (u_) <= (b_) -> 12
Out[2]=
{x == 1, 12, z == 3}
In[3]:=
b /. 1 <= (u_) <= 2 -> 12
Out[3]=
{x == 1, 12, z == 3}
In[4]:=
b /. 1 <= y <= 2 -> 12
Out[4]=
{x == 1, 12, z == 3}

Do you get the strange results with a freshly started kernel?

Peter
