I've heard good things about the Korn Shell and, if I remember correctly, it is public domain. If it is in fact PD, could somebody kindly mail me the source (I don't have access to ftp)? If it isn't PD, could somebody kindly tell how I could get a hold of it (remembering that our system doesn't know what the word ftp means)? Thanx. ---- Keith Jones ...!calgary!spycal!sdscal!keith Stream Data Systems I don't have a signature because my pen keeps Calgary, Alberta, Canada scratching up my monitor.

If I'm not mistaken, the Ksh is the copyrighted property of AT&T and can only be obtained by purchasing the source code and signing the licensing agreement. I logged onto the AT&T Toolchest BBS not too long ago and recall seeing ksh available for a mere 20,000 dollars. If you'd like to check it out for your own self call (201) 522-6900 (1200-8-n-1) and login as 'guest'. There's a whole blurb there on it and other AT&T source code. Alternatively, you might try obtaining Bash (Born again Shell) from the GNU Project. It has many of the features available in the Ksh as well as some of it's own extensions.

If anyone has the source code, could you please e-mail it to me? If it's really huge, just let me know where I can have someone ftp it and get it to me another way... Thanks much!!! -greg

You're correct that the Korn Shell is available through the AT&T Toolchest, though the price for a site license is $3,000. The $20,000 fee is for the right to sublicense (sell binary copies) of Korn Shell. The Korn Shell will also be included in the UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0 Source distribution for those of you who may have access to that. Ry Schwark rye@attunix.att.com

Could someone please post (or mail) the location from which source of the Korn Shell can be found. I would be happy with an anonymous FTP site, however I am sure that I can accomodate another format. If I receive multiple E-Mail replies, I will post a followup listing their contents. -Goldfish (Shirley Maclaine said there would be LIFETIMES like this) - Goldfish (Shirley Maclaine told me there would be LIFETIMES like this)

It is a product of AT&T and the source can be obtained for a licence fee like the UNIX sources. There are some other companies which sell KSH executables for different machines/operating systems. Aspen Technologies, Parisppany NJ is one such vendor. On the other hand FSF (of GNU Emacs fame) has come out with a new shell called BASH (Bourne Again SHell) which has almost all of the features of KSH like command line editing in Emacs and Vi mode. It also has some features of CSH like the '!' way of re-executing commands. Remember that this is still in Beta quality, I have been using it for over 6 months with satisfaction. It is fairly stable. You can obtain the sources for BASH (1.04) from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu 128.146.8.60 If you choose to use/try this shell there is group on Usenet called gnu.bash.bug which deals with the shell.

Is is not available in source from from any ftp site (if it is and at&t finds out the site may not be happy with the result). If you want source, join the AT&T toolchest ($100 to join if not a System V source customer) and buy the source ($3,000 for a site license). There is no other legal way to get it (other than as part of the System V.4 source tape). The dial-in # for the toolchest is 201-522-6900 (1200 baud dialup line). Log in as guest and you will be prompted through the session (and able to browse the sources that are available). -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Conor P.

This version had been floating in some anon-ftp sites for quite a while, including, I believe, tut.cis.ohio-state.edu. PD ksh does have an emacs mode, and seems reasonably portable. oz -- There are two kinds of fool.
