[comp.sys.alliant] ksh available on FX/4??

kelly@ipla01.hac.com (Keith Kelly) (03/29/91)

Would anyone know if the ksh is available somewhere in binary form for the 
Alliant FX/4?  If not ksh then some other shell or utility OTHER THAN ATTY
which will allow command line recall and editing using the keyboard arrow keys?
Thanks in advance.

  I have compiled bash on our fx/8 and fx/80 that run 5.6.00 and 5.5.02c.  You
have full emacs or vi style command line editing.   It works very well.   Bash
is the gnu Borne Again SHell.   It is available for anonymous ftp from
prep.ai.mit.edu in /pub/gnu.    Try it...
