What I mean is that the new additional name should be set by the mainstream distribution of Rc, just to acquire such name. This is especially true for Debian GNU/Linux, where whoever acquires a name first "wins". Anyway, this is not at all a big issue, and I am not going to insist on it :-). Mine was just a general concern about using too short names for programs less ubiquitous than /bin/sh. A more important issue IMHO is whether Rc should provide a built-in read function, similar to the one offered by most Bourne shells; another one is whether it will ever make it possible not to export everything to the environment by default. Any thoughts about this ? bye -carlo -- I can read MIME or uuencoded e-mail attachments in PDF, Postscript, HTML, RTF or text formats. Please do not send Word or Excel files.
