I have compiled zsh 2.00.01 on Ultrix and its pretty damn neat. Now I want to port it to Interacive S5R3, but when I get the error saying <sys/wait.h> not found and also the code contains a wait3() call which is BSD specific. So has anyone ported zsh to Sys5 as it would be a shame to have to keep swapping between shells on different machines. Also in an alias how do I include the filename from the command line? Thanx Iain PS. Is there any tips & tricks for zsh anywhere? -- EMAIL iain@norisc.uucp !unido!estevax!norisc!iain SNAIL Siemens AG, AUT 922C, Postfach 4848, Germany PHONE +49-911-895-3853

People have been talking in comp.sources.d about the fact that it
doesn't compile on SystemV, but I don't think anyone has done the
porting work yet.
Also in an alias how do I include the filename from the command line?
You can't use command-line arguments in aliases in this way, just as
you can't do it in ksh or bash. When you want to frob the arguments,
you need to use a shell function, rather than an alias. See the man
page for more information.
PS. Is there any tips & tricks for zsh anywhere?
How about the man page? :-)
