(Please let me know if you have seen this already, we are having
 trouble with our news posting mechanisms.)

I don't know if this is the correct newsgroup for this question,
but anyhow...

I have recently bought a A3000, and have acquired the PD source to
CShell 5.10 (I think).

Being a Unix programmer by profession, I thought this might be useful.

Well, when I tried to compile said source I discovered that I also
needed arp.
So, I got the arp 1.3 distribution.

Well, the CShell still doesn't compile.  There are a series of structures
that are defined in both arp's include files as well as in asl.h or dosasl.h.
I am running Lattice/SAS C compiler 5.10a.
This is during the compilation of "Shell.syms"!!!
The CShell documentation claims that it will compile under (atleast) Lattice
5.00.  What gives?

So, what I am mostly interested in is:

Is arp (1.3) supposed to be compatible with WB2.0?
Is arp NEEDED with WB2.0?
Is the CShell I am referring to supposed to be compatible with WB2.0?
Is there any other csh-like shells out there that:
	1. do NOT need arp?
	2. are WB2.0 compatible?
	3. I can get?
I am mostly interested in a shell with Unix-like wildcards, command-line
editing, and file name completion capabilities.
I use a shell called 'tcsh' at work which has these.

Please give me any thoughts that occur to you.

Thanks...


Oh, on another note.  I use JOVE (Jonathon's Own Version of Emacs) at work,
also.  I don't imagine anyone has heard of such a beast that is ported to
the Amiga, have you?
If not, I'll continue with my currently time-consuming port.
If anyone has any suggestions to this port's requirements, please let me
know about that also...I currently need to work out the details of:
	1. putting the controlling terminal in raw mode
	2. working in a public-domain release of termcap that I found
	3. implementing the equivalent of such functions as sleep(),
	   execl(), execv(), fork(), pipe(), etc., etc.
	4. etc., etc.

Thanks again,
jeff
