Does anyone have the source for the korn shell. I once got apointer to a machine at U of Toronto, but they had a file on it with a nasty message about how they're not in the business of distributing software and to get lost. (I hope they never want anything from me ;-). -- Phil Windley | windley@iris.ucdavis.edu Division of Computer Science | ucbvax!ucdavis!iris!windley College of Engineering | (916) 752-7324 (or 3168) University of California, Davis | Davis, CA 95616

Perhaps it does bear repeating, but this question does come up MONTHLY!
The Korn Shell is not a public domain item (alas!). If Informed folks
would care to repost where it is available from, please do

I hope the adress and phone numbers are correct, 'cause they date back to a March '88 Catalog. Just ask for the Unix System Toolchest description. I ported ksh to AIX 2.2.1 for a friend of mine. No Problems. You can get a SYSV version of ksh up and running with a few makefile corrections and a cup of coffee during compile. I tried to compile it on AIX/PS2 1.1, telling make that I have a BSD system, just to get job control. It seemed to run, but had bugs when forking a subprocess. Up to now I did not track down the problem. Telling make to compile for SYSV did not hel either. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDV Ges.m.b.H Vienna Johann Schweigl Hofmuehlgasse 3 - 5 USENET: johnny@edvvie.at A-1060 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 59907 257 (8-19 CET)

In the USA the $3000 source license is a site license. That makes it a bargain for a university or company.
