In that case, you probably won't succeed porting a program as involved as a Unix Shell. There are just too many tiny little differences between DOS and Unix to take care of, in it. Bash, e.g., took a lot of iterations and expert involvement to get it to the point it's now at. > p.s. Yes, I know there is BASH, but I need KSH.... Why? AFAIK, Bash supports practically every feature of ksh. Some features may have to be enabled explicitly, because they're off by default. But that's about it, already. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
