I hadn't noticed because I have my own custom .mshrc that se= ts PS1. Don't really mind. Just felt that whilst people could still install pdksh i= t should work for that too. Then when pdksh gets pulled off the install list properly, it could go from= profile file then (it's only a case tweak in the mean time anyway). BTW, I have a side issue which is when mksh installs it doesn't make a ksh = link, which means scripts with #!/usr/bin/ksh stop working. That said, to be honest, I'm trying to move things to bash anyway :-) Gavin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
