Bugs and Limitations 12/27/94 1. Some people have reported that pm applications cannot be run from ksh. Work around is to use the start command or force a cmd shell using an alias. (A trial fix is in 5.1.3, please report any problems.) 2. Many of the makefile targets are not yet working. Those known to work include all, uninstall, check, ksh, config.h, makefile, debugtools (only check-fd and check-sigs.), clean, & distclean. 3. 'nmake check' erroneously reports bug 2 as present. It is not present in the os/2 version but the test used does not create an os/2 compatable file name. (This may now work in 5.1.3) 4. Other 'nmake check' tests require a local /tmp, /bin, /dev, and /etc directory. The bin directory needs a copy of cat, cp, and ksh (called sh). The /etc directory needs a copy of termcap and passwd (or any file with these names). 5. background processing does not work. The work around is to use the aliases for start to run background processes. 6. Job control is not working yet. 7. Using the window manager to kill ksh causes history file to be lost. 8. No convienent way to simulate a login. Workaround is to use kshrc.ksh as the profile file and then set $ENV inside to provide normal $ENV functionality. 9. Release 5.1.3 does not yet have a fully integrated os/2 in the sources. I have included the file changes.513 with this release to correct some typos and allow you to build. This only applies to version 5.1.3. Later versions should not require this.
