Yeah, that was to someone who had problems "1) sometimes when I start zsh it hangs, sometimes it starts normally; (2) zsh command-line editing generally badly messes up the display when long command lines are being edited" I never had these problems myself so I told him to upgrade instead of downgrade (what the zsh maintainer advised). > If you truly had a problem I am sure that you would have reported it > prior to this point rather than implying that it worked. This is just a tiny problems for me. There was a real problem with zsh where *completion* took a long time (it tried to do DNS lookup - according to my Personal Firewall - and timed out when I wasn't online and no DNS was available). This is gone. The other "problem" is no problem for me because I use the completion and therefor the "correct" mechanism is /very rarely/ triggered. After that zsh caches the answer and replies immdiately "zsh: no such file or directory". (If I'm so dumb to try it again.) But please be aware that there may be different problems. The one I described is with the "correct function" of zsh (and I figured that out just today). Davide Marchignoli's problem seems to be different: % aoidfjkl # immediately: "zsh: command not found: aoidfjklj" % /bin/aoidfjklj # hangs for about ten seconds until "zsh: no such file or directory: /bin/aoidfjklj" Thorsten -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
