Hi All,

I am Pavan, I am working at a company called Symbian, we make a Smart 
Phone OS called symbian.
I am trying to port Zsh to Symbian, though Symbian does not supprt direct 
native posix api's we have a platform called P.I.P.S
which provides subset of Posix APIs. Could someone please tell me if and 
how i can get access to the Zsh design document as just going 
through the code i am not able to understand anything substantial.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Pavan

The best we've got is the file Etc/zsh-development-guide in the source
tarball.  That's mostly targeted at people trying to add things to the
shell, however, rather than for system-level modifications.  Otherwise
you'll need to post your questions here, but they'll probably get
answered if they're succinct enough.
