I've uploaded a new version of A User's Guide to the Z-Shell which you
can find at
  http://sunsite.dk/zsh/Guide/

The main addition is chapter 5, which talks about all forms of shell
substitutions and expansions.  Chapter 3 has been slightly edited.  I'd
be interested in any comments on either, of course.  It's possible
chapter 3 is a little indigestible and I could move some of the
marginalia to a later chapter or appendices or whatever.

There are now PDF versions.  These were created by pdflatex; I suspect
they are not as well compressed as you would get with Distiller, but
they are certainly smaller than the PostScript versions.

I don't know if anyone has already pointed this out, but in the user guide
section 5.4.2:

  perl                          zsh
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  %hash2 = %hash;               typeset -A hash2; hash2=(${(kv)hash})

Surely this should be hash2=("${(@kv)hash}") in case of empty string
values.

Also, a little above in 5.4.1, this bit is not quite right (missing the
'array[]').

 % array=(some words)
  % args() { print $#; }
  % args ${(r)s*}
  1
  % args ${(r)X*}
  0
  % args "${(r)X*}"
  1

Cheers,

Martin.
