[ast-developers] Anyone got /dev/file@ working?

Did anyone got /dev/file@ working in ast-ksh.20130814 or is that
feature broken there?

feature broken there?

This is again broken in ast-ksh.20130829:
ksh -c 'redirect {n}</dev/file at sync/etc ; true'
/home/ced/bin/ksh: /dev/file at sync/etc: cannot open [No such file or directory]

ksh -c 'redirect {n}</dev/file at sync/etc ; true'
/home/ced/bin/ksh: /dev/file at sync/etc: cannot open [No such file or directory]

the feature is there
the spelling is different
the original spelling was in a non-release patch proposal
current spelling is as follows for reasons already posted

/dev/file/sync:etc # relative
/dev/file/sync:/etc # absolute

Well, I did like /dev/file at options/ because it was clear where the
options are. It looked familiar and user-friendly. Sounds like I have
to get "used" to the new Windows-like style

:(

I think this is still up to debate. I've put up a poll among the
IntCERN developers to get feedback what people like, i.e. pick one of
/dev/file/$options:/$path, /dev/file@$options/$path,
/dev/file#$options/$path

72 (out of 407) people voted so far, 19 for the first option, 44 for
the second, 9 for the 3rd.
