ps: the OSX ppc package was prepared on an Intel MacBook as a cross compile and has not been tested yet on a ppc processor.

I ran the REPL, a GS program, and newLSIP edit. No problems.

Thanks for the update!

Hi Lutz,

Thanks for the release...

A remark though... process does not work anymore.. :-)
(Linux slackware 11.0)

> (process "xclock")
4812
> !ps -p4812
PID TTY TIME CMD
>


Where do I look in the C code for the change? Because the p_process function did not change...


PS1: this is strange...
(process "newlisp") does work, but I cant get back to the original ROOT
newlisp when I quit the second one with Ctrl-D. The Root is a ghost now (no defunc btw!)

I think its a TTY/Terminal setting issue...Im lookig at it...




Regards,
Norman.

PS3:

And occasionaly when using 'process the CTRL-D gives up too..
(no effect anymore)

I just punched myself with the "RTFM" chapter...!


PS: Signal handler works fine, I lost the SIGVTALRM with the 'true option ;-)
