As an additional item, the SVR4 ksh has some new features, my favorite is job control. You can now move processes from foreground to background and back. (Nothing new to csh users..., BTW, csh is also supplied with SVR4.) The SVR4 manuals are published by Prentice-Hall.

Ksh has had job control for some years when run on OS' which support it. This includes BSD, SunOS, some versions of System V hacked up by Dave Korn, and others. It is standard System V which did not support job control, whether you were using csh or ksh. Name: Christopher J.

(Nothing new to csh users..., Nothing new to those of us who have used "ksh" under OSes that supported job control before S5 did, either. (I used it under SunOS, and had job control long before S5R4 existed.)
