Erm... my original patch (and request) was about the introduction of a hidden+private alias for "getconf" (called "astgetconf") which the test suite should use instead and then we could disable the "getconf" builtin command on our side (temporarily - which should give us a way to do our ksh93 putback with a working test suite and you would have enougth time to handle the "getconf" issue in peace) and not your side... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
