Well, writing these kinds of posts generates those questions. You make
it sound as if the only reason there is no 'zshelly' thing for the 86
is because there is no reason to. However, people *WANT* to run zshell
on the 86 because a lot of 85 zshell software isn't out yet on the 86.
However, it is NOT POSSIBLE without some rewriting and, more
importantly, recompiling. The author must have an 86 to test it with
and be willing to do some modifying. That is, the programs, not
zshell.
