Thanks to Thos Sumner for making them available there. Ok everybody, write that address down... Also, if anbody has been able to get that version of ksh to work, please let me know. I've tried compiling it, but it's too much trouble, and just got bash from FSF instead. -greg -- Gregory A. Gulik greg@gagme.chi.il.us || ...!gagme!greg || gulik@depaul.edu

The REAL ksh is a commercial product of AT&T. Source license is
available for a reasonable fee (I think someone said about $3K for a
site license.) You can log in to the AT&T Toolchest (a sales BBS)
at 1-201-522-6900, 1200 baud, login guest password guest.
There are several clones of ksh out there, notably the MSDOS version
from the MKS Toolkit, though that isn't source. There was a
public-domain version being worked on for a while; I'm not sure how
far it got. There's also bash, available from the GNU archives,
which is similar but brobably not identical to ksh.

(Could not mail you directly, please check your address) The original ksh is a commercial product, sold, I believe, by AT&T. The GNU bash immitates some behaviour, but I found it to be quite buggy still. Recently I located the source of a public domain ksh on a system and transferred it to our systems here. I did some changes to make the program compile on both SUN OS 3.5 and BSD 4.3. You can get the program and patches via ftp from sbsvax.cs.uni-sb.de (134.96.252.31) in directory pub/pd-ksh. It is not a complete rewrite of the ksh. If you want to extend it you are welcome. If you find bugs, I would appreciate it if you sent them to me, but don't expect quick bug fixes, as I did not write this program and am looking after it only in my sparse spare time.
