I recognise DES and EE as the zsh freaks though *G* But then again Greg, judging on freefall doesn't account for csh's popularity in other environments where the default still would be csh and used. All a matter of taste... We could however kick csh out, make it a port, if it's not there already, and just have /bin/sh ;) -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur.
