I've had other problems, including `\c' not being interpreted by echo, which is actually deliberate for `emulate sh', and lots of tests failing, but there's something wrong with setting up here since a lot of tests fail anyway. The errors include usage messages from grep and egrep, and errors from perl, so I don't think I'm going to be going very far as things stand at the moment. However, zsh does produce more errors. I haven't seen memory problems, though. Maybe I'll try at home. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
