I recently started exploring the possibilities of the z-shell (zsh) and
so far it looks great.
Upto now I encountered two problems.
1 - When using open windows the window that is assigned as console
acts weird ! It looks as if I have to type all characters twice
to have it recognize anything. Furthermore the ">" prompt keeps
popping up after every command I give. I use the "normal"
open windows shelltool as a console window....
2 - I get error messages on invokation of certain commands. Some
commands do it all the time (giving the error message i.e.),
other commands do it once in a while. I really don't know
what is going on !
One of the commands that always generates the error message is
"mkdir". The error message is :
"zsh: job table full"
Anybody care to shed some light on these matters.

There are still some more bugs to be worked out. >2 - I get error messages on invokation of certain commands.

Are you sure your job table *isn't* full though? (i.e did you run a bunch of jobs in the background and stopped them or something?) Well, Paul (the author) went home earlier this week, but he might be in to check mail from time to time this summer. Be sure to drop him a line. -Kartik -- internet% whoami subbarao@phoenix.Princeton.EDU -| Internet kartik@silvertone.Princeton.EDU (NeXT mail) SUBBARAO@PUCC.BITNET - Bitnet
