I'm subscribed by digest, and suspect this has broken threading... (I'll figure
this out eventually)
OK, I've already got a few fixes to the script. I'll add a -h hint to the Error
messages as Reini suggested.
As to the name, I'm really not bothered. If it is more useful to have a
descriptive name, I'll switch. But I like the fact that there are a multitude of
different ways you could conceivably pronounce it :)
In the meantime, I've verified that cmd, zsh, tcsh, bash and ash shells start in
the appropriate directory with rxvt. My cygwin install is 2+ years old at home,
so I haven't been able to check pdksh or xterm.
At the moment I'm a web pauper without any webspace; but I'm moving shortly and
the situation should be improving. Hopefully be able to post an appropriate
package early next week.
Dave.
