As I pointed out to Greg in email, this is completely correct. I tested zsh on a number of different machines before posting (mostly BSD/SunOS, since that's all I have access to), and listed these machines in the README file. But I completely forgot to include this information in the introductory posting. At least when I posted the patch, I included this information at the top of the posting, as I should have done originally. I definitely should have mentioned clearly that zsh does not like Sys V (yet). Apologies to anyone for whom this was a problem. -- Paul Falstad pfalstad@phoenix.princeton.edu And on the roads, too, vicious gangs of KEEP LEFT signs!
