17:24:27 <crc> good evening
17:55:16 --- join: docl (~luke@216-161-87-126.ptld.qwest.net) joined #retro
17:59:50 <crc> hi docl 
18:00:17 <docl> hi crc
18:00:20 <docl> how's it going?
18:00:29 <crc> pretty good
18:03:22 <crc> I've been trying to find an html->epub convertor that doesn't screw with my xhtml and css. so far no luck.
18:14:27 <crc> in forth news, http://rx-core.org/retro-10.6rc1.tar.gz is the first release candidate for 10.6

18:15:18 <docl> cool

18:16:39 <crc> it should be pretty stable; I've been using it for a few weeks now without any problems
18:16:52 <crc> I just need to get the documentation updated
18:18:14 <docl> :)
19:36:41 <sixforty> know how to get an sh script to return its last parameter? (no one else does)
19:41:38 <crc> eval last=\$$#
19:41:38 <crc> echo $last
19:42:53 <crc> hmm, not quite. that gives the last parameter number....
19:45:12 <crc> actually, it does work, if you have <10 parameters
19:46:36 <crc> which sh? bash? or something else?
19:46:52 <sixforty> ash. basically vanilla sh
19:48:08 <sixforty> eval echo \${$#}
19:48:30 <sixforty> wish I didn't have to resort to eval. ah, well
19:48:48 * crc is seeing if ash is in his pkgsrc
19:49:01 <sixforty> ksh will do
19:49:30 <sixforty> bout anything that pretends to be sh will do, except bash
20:10:15 <crc> for a in $*; do
20:10:15 <crc>   b=$a
20:10:15 <crc> done
20:10:15 <crc> echo $a
20:11:02 <sixforty> yeah, I'd thought of that, but it's a long way to go just to title an xterm :/
20:13:15 <crc> b=`expr $# - 1`
20:13:15 <crc> shift $b
20:13:15 <crc> echo $1
20:13:37 <sixforty> that may be the one I use
20:14:40 <crc> I can't think of anything else that might do it, and I can't find my copy of Programming the Korn Shell at the moment
20:14:59 <sixforty> I'll play around some more first, but probably will end up with that one. Thanks.
20:15:08 <crc> no problem
20:16:08 <crc> b=$(($#-1))
20:16:29 <crc> that may also work; it does in ksh on osx
