With my current setup mush gets very unhappy } that it cannot update the folder. } } I am using mush 7.0.1 under SunOS 4.0.3 on SPARCs and Sun3. Mush 7.0 and earlier took the view that the user should be responsible for exiting with "exit" (as opposed to "quit") in *any* situation where the folder should not be updated. This is somewhat silly in the case of a read-only folder, and furthermore was partially broken in tool mode. Version 7.1 has changed this to the more obvious behavior. You can pick up 7.1 by anonymous ftp from: cse.ogi.edu: pub/mush/mush-7.1.tar.Z or ucbvax.berkeley.edu: pub/mailers/mush-7.1.tar.Z I haven't looked lately to see if ucbvax still has a copy, but cse.ogi definitely does. -- Bart Schaefer schaefer@cse.ogi.edu
