Can some knowledgeable gentleperson tell me how to go about getting the source of the Korn Shell (assuming such a thing is possible)? My understanding - which may be incorrect - is that it is available as a part of the AT&T Toolchest, so the question might should have been better phrased. However, hopefully it is adequate. We (Florida State University) are properly licensed for AT&T Unix, for BSD 4.x (sufficient for Mach, anyway), and the proper CPU's are covered. Any suggestions or helpful comments (including potential vendors - we do not particularly expect things to be free, although it would be nice) by e-mail would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I understand the ONLY place where you can get a copy
of the KSH or KSH-88 is from the AT&T toolchest. I know of no
other source licensee.

It should be included as part of the System V.4 source release as well (though if you want to spend $100,000 when you could spend $2,000 or $3000, have I got a bridge for you). -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA Catproof is an oxymoron, Childproof is nearly so

I do not think any of the KSH is released with SYSV R4. I know it did not release with the SYSV R3.2. in source even though the binary could be purchased. Last time I looked on the toolchest KSH-88 was 5,000 not 2 or 3,000. Cheap at any price but too expensive for me. Also I beleive that AT&T is NOT offering a University discount like they did for SVR3 The 1000.00 Unix source is over. I understand that AT&T will discount the 100,000.00 at some rate but not release it for 1,000. Sigh! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis S.

We are running a pre-release SVR4 on a 3B2 and it comes with ksh. Furthermore, there's a man page for ksh in the manual, so I'd say it's more than likely it will be included in the official SVR4 release.

Unless they changed something *very* recently, you are mistaken. >I know it did not release with the SYSV R3.2. in source even though >the binary could be purchased. Which says nothing about whether it'll be in S5R4; S5R3.2 doesn't, as far as I know, include source to NFS or the BSD file system, but S5R4 sure does....
