I wrote a program today to improve my C programming. It goes over the top of the shell, and passes any commands which it doesn't understand to the shell. However, the alias's defined in the shell don't work. As I only use 2.0, I was wondering whether there is a way to fix this in 2.0. Otherwise I'll have to read in the shell-startup and handle them myself or some other hack. Expect to see the program on abdfd20 in about 2 weeks depending on how work on my other major project goes. BTW, What is a good way for testing if 2.0 is running? Regards, Colin Adams

This was fixed in a recent beta version of the OS (local variables weren't being copied on Execute or System calls). To check versions, specify the version number of the library you need when you open it (aka OpenLibrary("dos.library",36L). Or you can open it with version 0, and then examine the version number in the library base. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.

If you are in C, just do an OpenLibrary with version no. 36 and see whether it fails. If you are in Shell, you can also use the CLI version command on one of the disk resident libraries and check the return. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
