Using standard rc-1.4 and "rcp file solaris-machine:" to a recent version of Solaris, I get "rc" on the solaris machine hanging taking all CPU in an infinite loop (most, if not all the time). OS is "SunOS sage 5.5 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_40" with a variety of patches. Is this reproducable for you? I haven't really looked at it, because the Solaris machines here aren't particularly worth thinking about :) It just means a hang whenever I use my 'distribute-rcrc' function to copy my rcrc across 20+ machines of differing architectures; Solaris is the only place I have a problem. David. PS: Does anyone have rc 1..4 compiled for SCO unix, preferably with readline support? We don't have a compiler on our SCO box and installing a cross-compiler elsewhere to compile rc would seem a little excessive.
