The thing is, it is not even necessary to point Autoconf configure scripts at a reasonable shell. The configure script will find a capable shell and run itself with that shell. UnixWare has a /bin/sh as crufty as Solaris 10. I just pulled the latest config.guess and config.sub into my OpenSSH tree and configure was just as happy as before. Like Solaris /bin/sh, UniWare's does not handle $(...) either. -- Tim Rice Multitalents t...@multitalents.net
