It just installed my Linux-slackware-zsh-2.4.306,
stepped through the (GNU-)info file, ...,
unpacked the sources of zsh-2.6.beta12,
printed intro.ms
(got lots of a special kind of warning)
intro.ms:78: warning: missing number
intro.ms:100: warning: missing number
intro.ms:119: warning: missing number
intro.ms:134: warning: missing number
intro.ms:142: warning: missing number
intro.ms:149: warning: missing number
intro.ms:179: warning: missing number
intro.ms:191: warning: missing number
...
and I think I information for now,
but I'm interested in your innd interface.
