So, this may partly explain the success of zsh in Mac OS X 10.3. However, a few weeks ago we saw on one of the zsh lists that zpty does not work in 10.2 (Client version) when dlcompat is available. I guess Oliver's recent experiences with 10.2 (Server version) confirms that. Whether this means 10.2 is a lost cause, I don't know, but I'm guessing that Darwin 7 is sufficiently "fixed" that zsh works out of the box. (I have not had trouble compiling zsh or testing zpty under 10.3.x.) If Apple did not provide zpty in 10.2 then perhaps there are no patches for zsh per se. [Now reading Oliver's latest post.] I will try compiling zsh from CVS tonight, if no one else posts about it.
