i am writing a csh(1) because i just can't live without pipes any
longer. when finished, i will post bin AND src to the net. i like
gulam, but use microemacs 3.10 so gulam really buys be nothing.
anyway, i'd like to impliment the "gem" command. here are some
questions i need to find out:
1) besides turning on the mouse, turning off the cursor before
the command (reversing on exit), is there anything else i need to
do?
2) do i have to install the shell as .prg or can it be .ttp? if
it is .prg, is there any need to do vdi (i.e. can i use line A
to show the mouse)? is there a better solution?
i'd like for the shell to impliment soft links and mounted file
systems (!) as well, so i can use an /etc/fstab at least from
the shell's point of view. i'd like to make the shell know about
/etc/termcap, if possible, too. plenty of work ahead, don't
expect anything before christmas, i suspect. i'll probably switch
to dlibs and add support for "/" paths switched via the environment
somehow. i'll probably merge my libc.a with dlibs2, if dale will
let me, and post the new library as well. we'll see...
thanx for your help...
