Asking this of the zsh *developers* isn't necessarily a good cross- section of platforms on which people use zsh. Call me a reactionary, but I'd rather not abandon anyone if it can be avoided. We still get requests for builds of zmail on really ancient unixes (most of which we have to turn down, to my chagrin). Even if you don't keep supporting/testing the compatibility code, it'd be nice to have some idea that the changes you're making don't depend on something that it's impossible to emulate in the older styles. Someone stuck on one of those older systems ought to at least have a chance of fixing it himself. -- Bart Schaefer Vice President, Technology, Z-Code Software schaefer@z-code.com Division of NCD Software Corporation http://www.well.com/www/barts
