Don't think so. Needs some work, yes. Like, "A is generally better than B, but has these two annoying bugs X and Y and misses feature Z". So, you fix X and Y and add Z. And then delete B. > (The multi-shell situation in > busybox is similar.) lash is gone. As soon as hush will get here documents (IIRC that's its "feature Z"), venerable msh can go too. It's more buggy and bigger than hush. -- vda _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list uClibc@uclibc.org http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
