I'm hesistant to give up zsh and all its great functions, which I've come to depend upon, so I was hoping some of you could give me some specific examples of how zsh has not caused problems for you sysadmins out here. I need to make a pretty convincing argument if I'm going to keep this thing. Any help appreciated. -- Thank you for your time and consideration. _ - - - _ /)- - _ _ / |_o_/ - _ \__ - _ \ \_ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ _ - Jose Unpingco ECE 0407 (619) 546-8809
