[more tests] Not a regression for OpenServer 5.0.x (tested on 5.0.4 & 5.0.7) but is a regression for OpenServer 6.0.0 as a result of using /usr/bin/posix/sh. > > That being said, which version of OpenServer are you using?

OSR6 has the "extended shells" package and also a newer ksh in /u95/bin/ksh. Setting CONFIG_SHELL to some other working shell does work. I've asked SCO why /usr/bin/posix/sh on OSR6 is a symlink to the Version 11/16/88g ksh and not the Version M-12/28/93e-SCO ksh (/u95/bin/ksh) like on UnixWare. OSR5 didn't have /usr/bin/posix/sh so there wasn't and "backward compatability" reasson to use the older ksh. I'm thinking this is really a SCO packaging problem. Maybe we just ignore this for now. -- Tim Rice Multitalents (707) 887-1469 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
