In article <APS.90Oct3040434@kaarne.tut.fi> aps@tut.fi (Suntioinen Ari) writes: BASH is great, it dumps core and has clear documentation. BASH *is* rather nice. Yes, as distributed it will dump core on machines trap a dereferenced NULL, but anyone who has any programming ability can track that down can fix it (there have been N+1 messages about this problem on the mailing list) or just reading the mailing list will also tell you how to fix it. Let's see you try and fix any bug you find in a binary-only distribution. As for clear documentation, there's Chet's man page and the POSIX spec. That's at least as well as most vendors document the shells they ship. -- Rich Kaul | It wouldn't be research if we kaul@icarus.eng.ohio-state.edu | knew what we were doing.
