i can't thank all the helpful people out there enough. i can only hope someday i'm expert enough to return all the favors! :) \ i do not have an Internet connection and CANNOT send a send-pr report (i'm dialing in thru a library and using http mail ...) anyway - this problem concerns 2.1.5 and "sh" shell. \ !#/bin/sh # ~/.profile alias qrstuv="echo hey!" echo ~/.profile ENV=~/.shinit; export ENV \ and that's it. an "alias" command will show "qrstuv", but any attempt in using it will result in "qrstuv: not found". also - as verified by another user - "export ENV=~/.shinit" will fail to execute "~/.shinit" in any future instance of "sh". \ it's not a big deal - but it "bugs" the heck out of me! :) \ now - if anyone could help me with this: any float function i use (fmod(), log10(), pow10(), pow(), etc) give me a link error: /var/tmp/cc0076271.o: Undefined symbol '_func()' refernenced from text segment ... \ i checked the maillist archive & faq & handbook - i have an FPU, i have npx0 enabled on motherboard w/INT 16 interface, and don't know what else to check! (i saw a similiar kernel make problem regarding "_hw_something-or-other". \ and btw, why is there no real "long double" functions? all references in float.h #define long doubles as plain doubles. i expect to lose alot of precision on some DOS programs i'm converting to FreeBSD ... \ and regarding "kbhit" - i thought there ought to be some way to access hardware flags/registers thru the kernel or some driver table ... no? i guess i have much to learn. it does seems slightly problematic though to have to always DEPEND on a stream when your code could be doing more useful things - instead of waiting. \ >You seem to be right about ENV; that's *really* weird. >You should submit a problem report using send-pr.
