[comp.unix.microport] ksh for uport

root@uwspan.UUCP (John Plocher) (12/31/87)

I was told by someone that ksh was available, in binary form, from Aspen
Technologies.  First, does anybody know the address (either USnail or uucp) at
which they can be reached?  Second, has anybody had any experience with this
product?  Is it suitable for a 386 uport system?  Does it exist for 386 uport?
How does it stack up to the one in the AT&T toolchest? (that's the one my
company uses, and with which i'm familiar)  How much does it cost?  (I though
someone said: ~$180)

After having used ksh for a number of years, its *really* tough to go back to
one of the "lower" shells.... (:-)

[ I talked to Microport Support just now and got the following info:

    For the 386 Unix, ksh is included in the software development package.
    For the 286 Unix, ksh will be included in either the 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 release
	as part of the software development package.
    This version is based on Sandy Zelkowitz's port of ksh.
