I installed the src01, bin01 and the etc01 distribution. There are some nice things in the etc01 distribution (thank you to the people porting this software to 386BSD - whoever it did): zsh-2.2 (IMHO: it's far better than csh, I can tell you), less-177 gs 2.4.1 cvs (front-end to RCS), kermit-5a (even the binaries), etc. For me it was worth installing and compiling the zsh, at least. It seems to work fine on my system at home, incl. job-control, history, command-line editing, etc. Norbert Bladt. -- Norbert Bladt, Ascom Autelca AG, Worbstr. 201, CH-3073 Guemligen, Switzerland Phone: +41 31 999 65 52 FAX: +41 31 999 65 44 Mail: nbladt@autelca.ascom.ch UUCP: ..!uunet!mcsun!chsun!hslrswi!aut!nbladt
