Here is what Oliver Kiddle, one of the main zsh developers, had to say about POSIX compliance in a thread on zsh-workers talking about convincing Apple to replace /bin/sh -> bash with zsh (something that going by the latest news is not going to happen): The explicit emulate command in zsh actually allows zsh to go much further than bash in emulating POSIX. Extra reserved words can be disabled etc. The only way that bash is more compatible is that it adds fewer additional features. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ josb@cncdsl.com _/_/ _/_/_/ use Std::Disclaimer; To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
