That's nonsense. 1. A counter-argument may be what will happen to Solaris's "reputation" when too many customer scripts break. Sun makes lots of money with guranteeing backwards-compatibilty and causing a large amount of breakage can be very very bad. 2. We're working on getting ksh93 integrated into OS/Net (which is IMO a big leap forward COMPARED to the years of inactivity of the last years). Please stop worrying/yelling and help us with the technical details, please... :-) ---- Bye, Roland P.S.: No flamewar, please... -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
