Well, as long as you’re not on OpenStep 4.2 (then you’d better give up ☺) it can’t be too bad… RT recently got mksh to build and pass its testuite (fully!) on NS3.3 with gcc 2.5.8 ;-) Building mksh and running its testsuite _is_ a good compiler and libc test anyway. I’ve suggested the GCC people do that several times already… (when you do, make sure to try CVS HEAD) bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
