I started using zsh about a year ago (3.1.4) and I have to say it has been the most reliable free software I've ever used... let alone for a BETA. By comparison, when I decided to switch to a Bourne style shell from tcsh, I first went to BASH (2.02) which is supposed to be a stable release. Within about 2 days I'd found at least ten ways to crash it hard, was disgusted, and switched to zsh at the recommendation of a few xemacs-beta list members. It's the only worthy shell in MHO. Keep up the excellent work! Greg
