Get your floppies ready, as I will be posting a NEW version of Clam soon now, say a week or two. This version of Clam (documented as 1.3) may be used on Minix AND Unix systems, and it runs under Minix, 4.xBSD AND SysV, although the latter is a slight kludge [ anybody want to do it properly ?], making Clam a truly portable shell. Internally, Clam has undergone a radical restructuring, and this is why I need to post it fully again. Thanks to the Minix users, all of the known bugs are now fixed, and hopefully not many bugs are left. I have also changed the #ifdef's to indicated why pieces of code have been #ifdef'd, and to allow you to customise Clam. Such things as job control, hashing, and programming are now #ifdef'd separately. If you don't like #ifdef's, run Clam through the `ifdef' program I posted recently - it removes #ifdef's, making Clam more readable, and also faster to compile. So hold out for a few more days, a new version of Clam is coming! Warren Toomey.
