One of the goodies in the RCS package is a nifty gnu-descendant "diff" for the Amiga. It is very fast. But I find in the ARP shell that it has an insatiable hunger for stack. Works fine in CLI. So for now there's a band-aid for the ARP shell, namely, "arun diff ...". Anyone know what's going on? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ William F.

I use the ARP shell exclusively, and have had no problems with the stack. Of course, I run with a default stack of 50k, so that may explain it... Dave

I did the original port of gnu diff. For what it's worth, I run a version of the Dillon/Drew Cshell which I've done some hacking on (added an Arexx port & made it rez-able). I have my stack set at 25000 and have had no trouble with diff or rcs. I've tried WShell and also Sksh with no problems. I can't imagine why the Arp shell would cause problems but I will give it a try. How much stack are you allocating? -- Rick Schaeffer UUCP: uunet!isc-br.isc-br.com!ricks ISC-Bunker Ramo ricks@isc-br.isc-br.com Box TAF-C8 Phone: (509)927-5114 Spokane, WA 99220
