Here is an overview of my PD KornShell (not related to GNU's). - (almost) SysV/POSIX compatible. - a subset of AT&T KornShell (it is small, will fit in 64K minus -o emacs). - faster that csh (not surprising, if you know how csh works). - integer variables and expressions, but no arrays or other attributes. - BRL emacs editing mode (similar to Korn's). - the following Korn builtins: print getopts typeset whence alias unalias hash* let fc jobs fg bg kill bind* I use it as my login shell but it is still under development. I don't know when it will be ready for beta-testing.
