You should probably use zsh-workers in the future. Information about the various mailing lists is contained in the META-FAQ available on any of the zsh ftp sites. 2) I would appreciate if you would try to compile the latest beta release (beta10 with beta11 due in the next week or so) on this machine. If necessary, I can make you a snapshot of the latest baseline source. Although 2.5.03 is the latest production release, no more versions or upgrades for this particular version will be released. The next production release will be 3.00, so we should make sure the latest beta compiles on this machine. 3) You shouldn't worry too much about it being a beta release. Although it has plenty of bugs, I think it is as least as stable as 2.5.03. It is also considerably more portable. Richard Coleman coleman@math.gatech.edu
