never head about it before. I just downloaded it and tested: Step 1 : edition no vi and emacs mode (in todo list), so no completion system too? tcsh as emacs and vi mode, completion and bindkey. Step 2 : programming i think to myself that win-bash can be good as sh for makefiles. but a=1 good ... it works ... let a++ error :) : $(( a++ )) error again! [ -n $a ] && echo good says good ! wow ! [ -n $z ] && echo good says good ! arghhh ! Step 3 : Conclusion - tcsh is bad for programming but the program i've done works fine. - win-bash cannot be used as interactive shell (as it is as poor as cmd for the moment) - win-bash is too buggy to be used as sh in makefile. so why use it? peraps i missed something! I think the lake of open source sh is a real problem so if i had more time to spend for a windows shell , i would try to port dash (as minimalist sh replacement, it can be easier to port than bash). If i was really skilled, i would try to port zsh (wich is much powerfull than bash). Regards, mc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
