It would, but at the expense of POSIX compliance or, if POSIX is retained as a goal, pushing the compliance determination step into a new piece of policy which defines which shells get added to the list... getting us little. I don't think Policy is wrong in pushing for POSIX compatible shells, just poorly worded and perhaps focusing on the shell instead of the scripts. - Bruce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
