This is not true. : :"init.c" shows that each startup file from /etc is read only if the :appropriate #define is set (GLOBAL_ZSHENV, GLOBAL_ZPROFILE etc), but :none is set by default. On the other hand, the INSTALL file (if I got it :right) says that one has to explicitely _disable_ processing of a :scriptfile by adding the option --disable-scriptname to 'configure', :which suggests that GLOBAL_scriptname is set by default. Unless you specify otherwise when you run configure, they're all set by default in config.h . configure checks for --disable-whatever and --enable-whatever=pathname and if it finds neither it will give you defaults. :What is the intention? As it is. :I'd prefer an implementation of the documented default behaviour. It is. What exactly leads you to believe they're unset by default? -- Geoff Wing [mason@primenet.com.au] Technical Manager Phone : +61-3-9818 2977 PrimeNet - Internet Consultancy Facsimile: +61-3-9819 3788 Web : Mobile : 0412 162 441
