Paul says Byron says global history is good; and he likes it too.
Chris has trouble with it.
Bengt has no trouble with it.
My story: I've _always_ used one history file per "display" (even pre-X,
i.e. V8, which is why the quotes). I love it, and hate it when some of
the windows are too remote to write to the history. _But_ -- ever since
I started getting involved with NFS, and _especially_ since moving to
a Sun platform, I have had a _lot_ of trouble with it. Clearly, the NFS
writes interfere with each other; I haven't read the source to prove this
but I am sure this is what is happening -- they all think they know where
to append, even though they don't really. I am wondering if opening
the history O_APPEND would help? Perhaps someone with NFS source handy
and a tad of time could have a quick read and advise us on this. Even
though it causes me problems, I won't switch back, because it _mostly_
works and I prefer a mostly-working global history to fully-working
per-window history.
OK,
John.
