RE: Problem running zsh on WinNT 4.0

[Amol Deshpande <amold@MICROSOFT.com>]

as long as the #! path at the top of the script is correct, there is no need
to create associations to run the script from within zsh/tcsh. Both these
shells do "hashbang emulation" where they will find the program to
be executed and feed it the script.
