There is a very minor bug in mush that has been there from at least 6.1. When I do a "mush -C -u news" and there is no mail for news, I get the message: /usr/spool/mail/news: No such file or directory<my shell prompt> meaning, of course, that there is a missing "\n". This bugs me because I use ksh and if I then do a ESC k (so that I can change news to uucp), the line has garbage at the end. I figured that this would be a trivial fix. I figured wrong. After not finding a string containing the message in the code, I went searching and decided that even if I found it, it was probably used somewhere else and adding the \n would screw it up. Does someone have a patch for this? -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb@vicom.com
