Not interesting for the actual topic of this list. Since the brandz announcement I had been thinking of an opensolaris ast environment for use within a zone. The high level of integration between the different ast components might make that actually interesting... The merits of such a an environment? We could create a single ast-based on different platforms. But as I said, not relevant for ksh93/solaris integration. Cheers, Henk
