The Korn shell *used* to not be free, now it is, as in beer. You can download it for free but not distribute it, and it is the ksh93 version rather than ksh88 which pdksh emulates. Ksh93 is a pretty good scripting language from what I hear, but outside of the propritary Unix world, where ksh is the defacto standard, its not likely to catch on as long as AT&T doesn't think it should be downloaded anywhere other than its servers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
