Where can I find (or buy) a ksh that will run under ISC 386/ix 2.0.2?

You can probably get a copy from AT&T.

I think someone was selling such for about $200 in _UNIX World_. The AT&T versions doesn't work well on SCO UNIX. As a matter of fact the only way it works at all is to boot /bin/sh and then run (not exec) ksh.

"This will be fixed in a future version which will include ksh." I can't speak about ksh-88, since I'm using ksh-i compiled under ISC 2.0.2 (the SCO Xenix/386 compiler couldn't handle it.*) It's the default shell for a number of non-root users. I had a lot of problem booting with C-shell as root's shell, somewhat better results with Korn Shell. Reinstalled with Bourne as root's shell. I suspect SCO's "fix" involves the underlying system (kernel, boot routines, etc.) and not (just) ksh itself. * Don't yet have SCO's UNIX SDS.
