But in truth, it isn't just zsh features I prefer. For me, the ways in which zsh is preferably incompatible with bash aren't just in zsh features (which are indeed very cool) but in the ways that it interprets command lines--ways which I think zsh handles more intuitively correctly. But that latter is an issue. It may break an (I assume) unknown number of existing scripts if used for sh, so I think the likely conclusion would be that *both* bash (for sh compatibility) and zsh would have to be installed. I'm not opposed to this, but I'll certainly concede that there are valid points to be made in opposition. - -- David Benfell benfell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQIFFuAAoJELT202JKF+xp+QIQAJoEOJUXozvyDWmjs/spK6So Q0bmB4v6M8gyfhWzkUnPWRLGXV+/sbrG/kyo2UhRyz4hj7X/AJj0tZSdVZVvo3FN HHw5FG8ChfgSuh4RDq2U2I9duOCIn8nDPFXjbWhgga0fOIPO1eiKoaycZRB53LO3 hy+RYt7hHmpsqlUb4yXe8SLnZQ8Qfhc94xfni8GAmwkcbs6TAOMvEsxtrEq6LYdt i5xAmnlK0aFMALgWlpX3Td17loIKllvZykINBISGQcEuKFNfoGrGXJ4eYrG222yb Qm6zfu020vsWaqKtR0hl2dZ0P9baeD1JOhE4hCbAKkC9xlFsTQt8xAOdgQzlnlMX LRc13/vceaEzLvpGQ8FARVJuLHuRK7JXOg3QW+au8hEnrO+0tnBrDrgoNYYwOGZd pVKQ5E5o0bXlcbgiJRCctA/lIXiDm5QQ/vKNOUyEzL5pMpHf7+cyGfY8ThMUbZHY zSGLTFGOXNk3/k3xUKHP+C4JQ+SarSuBym/2u/JKtjfv/trpi9aTgLw94ENdaLpf WpJ3OJ10BUM3kKZhgnxyP+Yx8t0pkwh79m94pm5dC8PV7oFxd4KMR5sH2gnR6DLm IC0QHZWOPF4NVeb5ljihp5G8W20bYLRB01RLnnHFEKfpuQKUp/mGzXKkeNG1FAye r7YtLK1szT6iDVMLuddk =1QkH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
