[etc] I guess this is as good a message to reply to as any. What a complete waste of time this whole discussion is. Those wanting tcsh can have it now really easily. The *very* few who need small size, well, they *need* small size. I personally feel kinda trapped in a new login, until I go compile tcsh into it, but who cares? I can do that, you can do that, why is that such a big deal that we have to penalize others? David's right, it's much better in nearly every way, but since it's something we have already to a completely satisfactory degree, the smallest valid complaint (and "I don't like it" isn't valid enough, but memory size in floppies is) wins out. I'll just keep on adding the port. Big deal. Bleah. David, go try talking them into replacing vi with Vim. I'll go get a soda, pull up a chair, and watch the fur fly! If we're gonna have a stupid donnybrook, let's really get into it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
