Do you want to make a zsh available on cygwin.com? I'll set you up with an account so that you can upload copies, there, if so. > The slashdot piece was interesting, but I had to disagree with a number >of his points.

Can you give an example of some of the clever ideas in uwin? I know that they have some sort of setuid daemon or something like that but it has been a while since I really investigated U/WIN. Since I have to come up with a roadmap for Cygwin at some point, it might be nice to know where another product has gone so that I could shamelessly steal some ideas. I thought that it was interesting that David Korn said that U/WIN may soon be open sourced. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
