Lines: 17 Reading some of the recent postings to comp.sources.misc, there seems to be a **GREAT** demand for "csh prompt generators" of various kinds, with various preferences built in/out/around/etc. I don't know how other people on the net think about this flood of prompt generators, each with some very special bells and whistles; in my opinion, there are too many! Why don't people wanting sophisticated prompt just use shells like tcsh which allow you to do really fancy things to your prompts? --- Juergen "Gandalf" Wagner, gandalf@csli.stanford.edu Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford CA #include-- Juergen "Gandalf" Wagner, gandalf@csli.stanford.edu Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford CA
