I know this is trivial, just a ksh/zsh incompatibility, but ....
In zsh 2.6-beta10 I need 3 \s to get rid of one and in ksh I can only
use 2.
% zsh -f
phobos% x="\\paul"
phobos% y="paul"
phobos% print -R "y=$y ${y#p} , x=$x ${x#\\} "
y=paul aul , x=\paul \paul
phobos% print -R "y=$y ${y#p} , x=$x ${x#\\} ${x#\\\}"
y=paul aul , x=\paul \paul paul
phobos% ksh
$ x="\\paul"
$ y="paul"
$ print -R "y=$y ${y#p} , x=$x ${x#\\} "
y=paul aul , x=\paul paul
$ print -R "y=$y ${y#p} , x=$x ${x#\\} ${x#\\\}"
ksh: "y=$y ${y#p} , x=$x ${x#\\} ${x#\\\}": bad substitution
(I hate dealing with \\// on NT)
Thanks again for all your work on the best shell available...
