Sorry for my screaming&&wailing... the complaint/comment was not in your direction... the problem is that the OS/Net rules require a "putback with no known bugs in the code" (and I like this rule and like to honor it) which collides with our project's goal to putback a "ksh93 which is fully compatible to the upstream version" (e.g. it should pass the test suite). Craig&&I really hoped we could do a putback this month (which was my optimistic view... my pessimistic side targets Q3/2007 or later (e.g. when the hell freezes)) ... ;-( ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
