Does anyone have any reports on this public domain ksh? Compatibility, portability? [This is an interesting subject, but better discussed on comp.sources.d. So I've cross-posted it there and have directed followups there as well. tww] -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us Ann Arbor, MI mailrus!b-tech!zeeff

The ksh sources as I picked them up are available from urth.cc.buffalo.edu (128.205.3.21). They'll be around for a little while. They didn't inspire much interest on my part. pjg@cs.buffalo.edu

We've got a version here that we made work on Ultrix, and have added vi mode. IT's still in alpha test, so don't expect too much, although it's starting to get stable. Several of us here use it for a login shell. Maybe the main author, Eric Gisin, should start releasing notes about it, but I doubt that he wants it in general circulation at this stage. The vi mode was written here, and we haven't sent our latest bug fixes, so it's not all that great. Jeff Sparkes uunet!garfield!jeff1 || jeff1@garfield.mun.edu

The current version of ksh should work on Ultrix 2.x. Ultrix had a bug in dup that caused the FD_CLOEXEC file descriptor flag bit to be incorrectly copied from the old to the new file descriptor.
