I think our options are limited. Either import ksh from https://github.com/ksh93/ksh, resurrected ksh development, if the EPL 2.0 license is to our liking or try to simulate arrays, like we do in rc. I think the latter risks introducing bugs, not to mention cumbersome, while the former is very actively developed. Personally, I think we might want to revisit importation of the actively developed ksh (above), if not for public consumption (i.e. /bin/ksh), for support of arrays (as /usr/libexec/ksh). Many of the additional ksh features are POSIX as well. I think the last time we looked at anything ksh-like, it was for its interactive use. I think we should consider it for its scripting capabilities (as in /usr/libexec/ksh) only and let users choose interactive options from ports. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: <cy@nwtime.org> Web: https://nwtime.org e^(i*pi)+1=0
