Has anybody enhanced ksh to improve its utility? I am specifically interested in file-completion a la SunOS 3.5 (and higher) C-Shell. I am interested in any enhancements and will either mail or post a summary if there is interest. (Are you allowed to make enhancements to ksh? Should probably ask that first!) -greg onufer

Umm, credit where credit is due; you meant "a la 4.3BSD C shell". We had it when I was at Sun, but I think it came from somewhere else; I don't know where. >(Are you allowed to make enhancements to ksh? I don't see why not. Of course, you can't post the changed files to the net; presumably, there are no worse restrictions on posting deltas than there are for posting deltas to other AT&T-licensed code (he says, weaselwordedly; I don't know what AT&T's lawyers would think about e.g. "diff -c" output, if they knew about it, and I don't know if anybody else from AT&T would want to tell them about it, for fear of what they would think...).
