This appears to be the standard shell behaviour. +The variable BAUD is no longer set automatically by the shell. +In previous versions it was set to the baud rate reported by +the terminal driver in order to initialise the line editor's +compensation mechanism for slow baud rates. However, the baud +rate so reported is very rarely related to the limiting speed of +screen updates on modern systems. Users who need the compensation +mechanism should set BAUD to an appropriate rate by hand. + The variable HOME is no longer set by the shell if zsh is emulating any other shell at startup; it must be present in the environment or set subsequently by the user. It is valid for the variable to be unset. |
