Oh, you're very kind! mksh already has a remarkable track record of portability, and this would be yet another feather in its cap. The build system, though unconventional, turned out to be a lot easier to work with in the EBCDIC environment than GNU Bash's. By the way, there's one addendum I'd like to put here: It turns out that NSIG=32 isn't quite right for z/OS. The system has a few more signals than that, some of which appear to be unique: $ kill -l NULL HUP INT ABRT ILL POLL URG STOP FPE KILL BUS SEGV SYS PIPE ALRM TERM USR1 USR2 ABND CONT CHLD TTIN TTOU IO QUIT TSTP TRAP IOERR WINCH XCPU XFSZ VTALRM PROF DANGER TRACE DCE DUMP $ kill -l | tr ' ' '\n' | grep . | wc -l 37 $ grep SIGDUMP /usr/include/signal.h #define SIGDUMP 39 (SIGDANGER, Will Robinson!) Do take the time you need to chew through all those changes, of course. I'll be happy to pick things up again at your convenience. > >My ASCII-art .sig got a bad case of Times New Roman. > > My condolence!

If it weren't for the big Web-mail providers seeing fit to display .signatures in variable-width fonts, there would still be a little ASCII skunk down below ^_^ --Daniel -- Daniel Richard G. || sk...@iskunk.org My ASCII-art .sig got a bad case of Times New Roman.
