this should be possible applications wishing to link with -lshell or -lcmd would have to cooperate with ast/ksh memory and io conventions meaning <sfio.h> and/or its <stdio.h> intercepts and <vmalloc.h> and/or its malloc-compatible intercepts since shilly and ast do similar portability hackery there might be some adjustments to keep that hackery from colliding or cancelling each other out -- but that should be doable beneath the api's in the respective portability layers -- Glenn Fowler -- AT&T Research, Florham Park NJ --
