So, what *is* the story on ksh at 1.5h? Anyone have it working, and care to share a source tree? I, as Karl, am not overly excited about joining the "to estdio or not" crowd, etc... I'd rather put more time in my current hardware project for the pc532.... :-) Bdale

I took a look at ksh when it was first suggested, realized I had to get estdio, and dropped it when I ran into problems trying to get estdio up. Not being very satisfied with sh, however, I got hold of bash and got it running with the help of Jyrki's patches. I have since upgraded to 1.5h under which estdio compiles without much problem (I have already posted a set of patches to the list). Being happy with bash, however, I have not bothered to look at ksh again. I am running vanilla 1.5h. I use gcc 1.39 with Bruce's linker and assembler (I am tempted to try gas and gld because it appears that would make g++ easier to port). I use estdio because it is a little faster that the standard stdio library and because my new floating point routines are a little more accurate than the ones in libflt. Finally I found that gnu make is a must (and remarkably easy to port) for getting the makefiles supplied with the gnu tools to work. If there is interest I can post my patches to these programs. Most are based on Jyrki's patches but with small tweaks to make them work on my "vanilla" system. Sverre -- Sverre Froyen sverre@seri.gov, sunpeaks!seri!sverre PS. Is I have mentioned before, my version of bash 1.08 has a problem with loosing stdout when the output of a loop is redirected. If anyone wants to help me resolve this, send me a note, and I will mail my current set of patches.
