Message-ID: <1945@marvin.Solbourne.COM> Date: 15 Aug 89 16:57:06 GMT Reply-To: dce@Solbourne.com (David Elliott) Organization: Solbourne Computer Inc., Longmont, Colorado Lines: 18 I recently heard a rumor that there was a version of ksh that has csh-style history (NOTE: Don't tell me about line editors that use ^P or ^[k for history -- if it doesn't handle !!, !*, !$, !!:gs/x/y/, or ^x^y^, it ain't csh-style). It seems to me that it would be nice to have a complete list of what shells are out there, what advantages/disadvantages each has, and how/where to get it. So, if such a guide exists, let's see it. If not, send me what info you have, and I'll try to put together a guide for posting. -- David Elliott dce@Solbourne.COM ...!{uunet,boulder,nbires,sun}!stan!dce "I had a dream that my kids had been reparented." - Tom LaStrange
