I should've read all the new messages first. Typing away merrily, Peter Stephenson produced the immortal words: > I have put a new patched version of zsh 3.1.5 at > > http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zsh-3.1.5-pws-3.tar.gz I don't suppose it's possible to provide bzip2 compressed forms too, is it? I know it's more space on the server, but: (a) bzip2 is patent-free and GPL so same distrib as gzip (b) It provides better compression. I'm still waiting for it to download. But as a comparison from zsh-3.1.5 (using figure in announce post and from my own patched 3.1.4): zsh-3.1.5.tar.gz as announced, size 867498 bytes. zsh-3.1.5.tar.bz2 made via patch, size 669971 bytes. > Phil Pennock's patch to use associative arrays in stat, 4727 Could someone familiar with the depths of params.c please check the sethparam function I added? The post (4727 I guess) contained warnings about the checks in that. There are bound to be problems with the unhandled cases. Please? I'm just feeling very nervous about it. -- --> Phil Pennock ; GAT d- s+:+ a22 C++(++++) UL++++/I+++/S+++/H+ P++@ L+++ E-@ W(+) N>++ o !K w--- O>+ M V !PS PE Y+ PGP+ t-- 5++ X+ R !tv b++>+++ DI+ D+ G+ e+ h* r y?
