I've never used ksh88. so I do not know the intersection with ksh93. but my experience so far is that it seems easier to port a ksh93 script to mksh than to bash. so ... > or complicated things out of curiosity: what's on your "crap" list? what's on the "complicated" list regarding ksh93 (beyond compound variables ... ;))? personally, I wouldn't count ability of a "general purpose" scripting language to do floating point arithmetic as "crap". admittedly, I don't use that very often in ksh93 but it's good that it's there if needed (and calls to awk or whatever can be avoided). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of mksh Mailing List, which is subscribed to mksh.
