Schrof" , "Trinh, Timothy" , "'Bart Schaefer'" Cc: "'zsh-users@math.gatech.edu'" Subject: RE: Problem running zsh on WinNT 4.0 Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 12:54:34 -0800 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2524.0) on nt 4.0 zsh will actually look for a $USERPROFILE directory. it may be that variable is not being set automatically. I don't quite know why that would be. If someone who has had to explicitly HOME (via the environment settings or usrmgr) would send me a dump of their environment from a cmd.exe prompt, I'll try to figure out what's going on. of course, please make sure that $ZSH_VERSION is 3.0.5-nt-beta-0.50 (or greater). If the version does not contain the "nt-beta.." part, then you are probably using a cygwin or u/win or interix zsh, not mine. thanks, -amol > ---------- > From: Bart Schaefer[SMTP:schaefer@brasslantern.com] > Sent: Friday, February 12, 1999 9:01 AM > To: Larry P .
