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? Regards Thomas Stephens tas@stephens.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
