I think the } > $ZSH_VERSION test is fine. Having thought about it a bit longer now, I have a suggestion: Put *both* a .zwc version number *and* $ZSH_VERSION into the header. When the .zwc version doesn't match, display the $ZSH_VERSION string in the error output. That completely hides the .zwc version from anyone who would be confused by it, while avoiding the need to recompile when the shell is upgraded. I know, I know, I should have thought of this sooner ... -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
