Subject: K95 shell function
Date: Thu, 07 Oct 1999 11:17:47 -0400
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
I have not had to do this yet, but the time is coming. I don't have the
K95 yet just the unix version.
If I have started k95 from a unix shell ( ksh, bash or ?? ) on a win95
machine. %COMSPEC still indicates command.com, not the unix shell. When
I do a shell command , which shell will be used? The parent or %COMSPEC?
Lemme restate that:
>From a dos prompt on w95, i'll start a "unix shell" ( bash.exe ), then
start K95, then need to do a shell command
from K95 ( E.G. sed < blah blah> ). Which shell will get used? %COMSPEC
or the parent "unix shell"?
I would suspect its %COMSPEC, but I've been wrong before!
