Ok, let's solve this debate by saying, if you wanton Minix, then you should write it. If you look back a few weeks, you'll see that I posted an article asking for some system calls which haven't been implemented on Minix yet, so I could do a port of my friend's tcsh clone. Haven't noticed any replies, either! Re: this shell is better than that, if you write and post it to this newsgroup, we'll be able to try it ourselves, and see if it is better. Right, now let's get back to Minix.. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Warren Toomey | |Dept. of Computing Science ACSNET: wtoomey@gara.une.oz | |University of New England UUCP: ...!uunet!munnari!gara.une.oz!wtoomey | |Armidale Australia 2351 ARPA: wtoomey%gara.une.oz@uunet.uu.net | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Life isn't as trivial as it seems, it only appears to be." | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
