- Yes, I am running SKsh 2.1. I am also running AmigaDos 2.1. I upgraded SKsh from 2.0
- to 2.1 and the "&" stopped working. I have read the docs and am aware that "&" is now
- supposed to work with built-ins, aliases, pipes, as well as external commands. At least
- for me, non of them seem to work. It appears that some folks are haveing problems and others
- are not. BTW, are you (Ray) running AmigaDos 2.1 or 2.04? I would guess that the SKsh
- archive may be bad, except for the fact that the SKsh installation program checks each
- file before and after installation... Oh well, I sent email to Steve Koren and should be
- hearing from hime soon.
