But somewhere I managed to find a src.rpm of it. This is the real deal: ksh93 If anyone wants it, I put up a copy on http://www2.syslang.net:8080/ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.src.rpm Ksh93 is subtley different from bash and even more subtley different from ksk88. But for my money, the shells come in the following ranking: * csh (all flavors) Dangerous junk. * bash The best of the login shells * ksh (Both flavors, 88 and 93) The best choice for industrial script programming. * sh An old evil that sometimes still forces itself to be used. The differences are easily worth hours of lecture time over the right dark adult malted beverage. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
