Sorry, I don't see it. Where's the "hate?" I think this is getting personal, and I don't think that's at all necessary. The _only_ issues I've seen relate to technical matters, and not at all to "hatred." Many of us use ksh93 on Solaris and would very much like to see it integrated. We just don't want to see a huge flood of bugs and broken applications as the result -- because we value compatibility. Call it a fetish if you like, but it's not hatred. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
