Dear scsh maintainers,

I am using scsh-0.4.2.

My system:
$ uname -a
SunOS euler-pc 5.4 Generic_101946-29 i86pc i386
$ config.guess
i386-unknown-solaris2.4

I couldn't compile the system on my Solaris-PC, because configure wanted
to use the "generic" system.

I thought that simply changing it to use "solaris" instead would work and
indeed it compiled, installed and could be run afterwards.

I did the following change to "configure" (actually changing "configure.in"
would have been better, but I don't have autoconf):

$ diff -c configure configure.orig
*** configure   Thu Jul 11 11:47:11 1996
--- configure.orig      Sat Nov  4 22:09:37 1995
***************
*** 975,981 ****
    ;;
    
    ## Solaris
!   sparc*-sun-solaris* | i386-unknown-solaris* )
      dir=solaris
      cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
  #define HAVE_NLIST 1
--- 975,981 ----
    ;;
    
    ## Solaris
!   sparc*-sun-solaris* )
      dir=solaris
      cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
  #define HAVE_NLIST 1

I would be glad if some change like this would be in the next release.

Finally I want to thank you very much for providing scsh.
I have not used it yet, only read the manual and it looks like I will like
to use it for lots of script programming. I have always been looking for
a scripting language on Unix that is not as ugly as the shells or even perl.

>From the RELEASE file:
> Go forth and write elegant systems programs.
I'll do my best!

Yours

Lutz Euler
