ligatures AE and OE

ligatures AE and OE

[Zvi Har'El]

As far as I can verify, although the ligatures æ and œ can be entered using
insert-compose-character with the digraphs ae and oe respectively, the upper
case ligatures Æ and Œ cannot, and zsh claims "no such combination" on AE and
OE. Is it just my problem, or can you fix it? I am using the CVS HEAD zsh on
Linux.

Best,

Zvi.

PS. On Solaris, insert-compose-character still doesn't work for me.

About Solaris again. As I said, in the login shell (e.g., after doing 
ssh to the Solaris machine), insert-compose-character doesn't work. But, 
if I start another shell, even using 'exec - zsh', which  should really  
start another login shell, it starts working!  Diffing the environment 
(obtain from 'set') between the two shells, nothing suspicious is shown:

~$ set >/tmp/a         
~$ exec - zsh 
~$ set >/tmp/b         
~$ diff -a /tmp/[ab]

This really makes no sense!

What if you diff the "stty -a" output?

Yes, that was a typo.  Thanks.
