[Munch all you want, I'll type more!] I've just installed SKSH, and I find it wonderful. I know that Steve has insufficient time to continue development and that Kim DeVaughn is taking over the project. How is the development effort going? Is an update in the works? And the big question: Who gets my donation to the cause? In a similar vein, I had grown accustomed to the CNN: handler availiable through ConMan13E, which gives non-blocking type-ahead. Is there a way to get this with SKSH without entailing all of the problems of ConMan's line editing functions? Thanks, -- Jason L.

And the big question: Who gets my donation to the cause? Yes, Kim is taking over development. Methinks kim must be on an extended vacation or something, as he seems to have disappeared some time ago. As far as I understand it, one of his first priorities is to get SKsh running under 2.0. As for donations, it is really not necessary. SKsh is free software, so you needn't feel obligated to pay for it. > through ConMan13E, which gives non-blocking type-ahead.

It would be a nice feature. - steve

I know that Steve has I've also recently installed SKsh, and I am having two problems: 1. It is extreemly s-l-o-w coming up after the window opens. I suppose this is normal. 2. I can't get ARexx to work with it, i.e. the example myport.rexx script, although the -p option is working. >> through ConMan13E, which gives non-blocking type-ahead.

Are you talking about moving your cursor miles to the right of the last command line letter? I hate it when that happens... -- Dan Griffin griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu

I've been running sksh under 2.0 for quite some time, now. Wouldn't want to have to use anything else! (Been using version 1.6 alpha for a while now, with no problems.) -dick

I think it has something to do with the configuration of the system. Some 2.0 systems run it OK, some crash. Dunno why :-( - steve
