I invite comments from the zsh developers, and I plan in the future, when some other projects are complete, to make similar changes to the AT&T ksh93 distribution, and submit them to its developers. The motivation for the changes, and their testing on many different Unix platforms, is fully documented in the README.NONSTOP-FP file in the distribution, and also available separately in the above directory, so I won't repeat it here. If the changes meet with zsh developer approval, I'd like to see them made standard in the next release of zsh. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
