This adds one to zsh. Did you also notice that "print -f" in ksh is the same as printf? This raises the question of whether it should be possible to combine print -f with all the other print options, which would imply quite a different implementation from what's in this patch, and would likely preclude it from being a module. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
