[comp.sys.sun] Does SUN offer ksh

fangchin@elaine54.stanford.edu (Chin Fang) (05/24/91)

The subject pretty much says what I would like to know.  If Sun does not
offer Korn shell, where can I get it?  BTW, I am using SUN OS 4.1.1 on
SPARCstations, [1s, 1+s and 2s] I got ksh on DECstations and IBM RS6000s
and would like very much to have ksh on SUNs as well

Please email me your pointer.  Thanks in advance for any info

No, but I wish they would. You have to purchase a site license from AT&T.
This will get you source code, and you can then compile and use it on
anything at your site. I keep hoping more companies will include it. What
kills me is that many System V machines like SGIs don't come with it.
