Hi Eric,
Is zsh really that old? For some reason, 1991 was the date I had
in mind for the first public release.
But I can see some code copyrighted 1990. The changelog in the
current sources go only as far back as 2.6-beta1 (1994), I think
I must have started using it around 97 so probably a 3.x
already.
Is there any place where we can download the old releases? I
have got a 2.00.03 on my hard disk for some reason, but there's
no changelog in there I can see.
Cheers,
Stéphane

As said above, if you press <Tab> after /u/lo/li, it will
complete to /usr/local/lib, if you've set up the completion
right (you may want to run compinstall again to learn about
features that have been added recently).

On <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zsh>:
The first version of zsh was written by Paul Falstad in 1990 when
he was a student at Princeton University.

I don't remember when I started using it, but I have a copy of my .zshrc
from 1995-08-10, I subcribed to the zsh-users mailing-list on 1995-09-23
and I posted my first message on 1995-10-20:

I suggest buying "From Bash to Z Shell". Great book.
