Getting an A3000 compatible version of SKsh out is high on my priority list
for the next release.  Doing so is complicated by my not having ready access
to a 300, but I have received offers from several 3000 owners offering their
help in beta testing a new version when it's ready ... hopefully that will be
in January.

As you also mentioned, there seems to be a problem with filename completion.

Also, I have some evidence that there is a problem during initialization if
preparsed forms of the .skshinit and/or .skshrc files are used, but no confirm-
ation on this so far.  I'd appreciate it if some people who are having 3000
trouble and are using .pp files would try running without the .pp's, and let
me know if that helps matters any.

Could you email me the specifics ...?


Thanks ...!

P.S.  Due to some fairly destructive problems with /usr/spool/news here
      recently, I may well have missed some SKsh related postings over the
      past week or so.  Please email me any bug reports that you may have
      posted in that time frame.
