Put it this way:  Which shell does Mike Karels, chief architect of
4.3BSD, use?  Answer: ksh.  (Does anyone know which shell Bill Joy
uses? :-) )

I think AT&T is making a mistake when not including ksh as a standard
part of SysV.  It is one very obvious bit of software that is clearly
superiour to anything available in 4BSD, and they need all the technical
advandages they can get.

But the next line is my favourite of those in that song:

Say, have any of you tried the BSD tcsh?
It provides command line editing, command completion and so many
other goodies that I don't know half of them by heart. I would
like to know on which systems it is available. I use it on a 
VAX running BSD 4.3
