Without starting a flame war.....
Just after buying and reading a great book on csh
AND starting to understand it a little, I was forced
by circumstances beyond my control to take up korn shell.
Can anybody recommend a book on it?
-
mail please

Korn is writing one and presumably to be released by the end of summer.

The definitive answer, however, is on the way. Dr. David Korn's book on ksh is in the final stages of editing and should be out "real soon now." (Publisher - Prentice-Hall, I believe) I had the pleasure of reading a pre-release review copy. Nicely done. Succinct, but not "underly" terse. Good ksh programming examples, using a ksh implementation of the MH mail handler. -- Ralph Barker, RALMAR Business Systems, 640 So Winchester Blvd, San Jose,CA 95128 uucp: ...{pyramid, sun}!amdahl!unixprt----\ !ralmar!ralph ...{ucbvax,hplabs}!sun!idi---/ Voice: (408) 248-8649
