IMO there are four issues (compared to "ksh93r"): - It would be nice to include the patch from http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-May/000346.html (which adjusts the paths of all builtin commands to be as compatible as possible to the native Solaris versions) as Solaris-only patch - "mkservice" still seems to be defunct - TAB following a TAB-TAB does not work in "emacs" mode. Instead a second TAB-TAB is required to refresh the results (for comparisation: readline/bash only needs one TAB after a TAB-TAB to refresh the results) - "gmacs" mode's TAB completion works like "emacs" mode and not like readline/bash, e.g. TAB in a middle of a string does not try to complete the left side nor is CTRL-V recognised as general sequence to enter any other character (like ESC or TAB). The patch for that was in http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ksh93-integration-discuss/2006-May/000354.html (please ignore the CTRL-L/|system("clear")| horror :-) ) ... Beyond that point it seems to work very well... keep up that good work... :-) ---- Bye, Roland P.S.: CC:'ing Ienup Sung... ...Ienup: Could you make test binaries from the source tarballs above, please ? -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
