Kurtis, I'm wondering, why you are not doing your homework, before replying to comments etc.? What about https://github.com/ellson/MOTHBALLED-graphviz/tree/master/lib/cdt ? Are 5 min really too much time to invest? > I have no doubt that within AT&T there is extensive use of non-ksh related > code found in the Github, https://github.com/att/ast/, project.

Just because you do not know, you have IMHO not the right to burn it down - deny access to it.
