If anyone else interested in ksh, it has been officially ported to Linux,
and a BSD/OS 4.0 port is in the works.  The fact that binaries for
supported platforms (including Linux) are available at no charge from
AT&T (www.kornshell.com) suggests sufficient demand might persuade them
port it to FreeBSD.

Regarding the other options, I am aware of pdksh and bash, but both are
somewhat non-standard (especially bash).  There is also CDE (which
includes ksh93), but I'm not aware of any FreeBSD versions (it also
seems a bit excessive to buy the entire CDE just for ksh).

At any rate, I am wondering if anyone knows of a port of ksh93 to
FreeBSD (as part of CDE or otherwise), and would also be interested in
knowing the level of demand there is among FreeBSD users for this shell.
Am I unique in wanting it?
