The korn shell is the property of AT&T (or Lucent).  They have not
chosen to make it available as opensource or freeware.  There is
an implementation called pdksh available as a package and a port
that is very much like korn shell.

Alternatly you can look at converting to bash which can be made to behave
very much like the korn shell.
