[snip various problems with global zsh{env,rc} in Mandrake and RedHat rpms] Just thought I'd mention that I've modified the relevant files in my automated nightly built RPMs according to Bart's criticisms, since they were also derived from the problematic RedHat originals. Hope they're approaching "correctness" now. I also even fixed the nightly build process so that it actually works now :-) In case anyone's still interested (surprisingly, a few people have been in the past), they're still at: http://www.new.ox.ac.uk/~adam/computing/zsh/ Adam
