Also, ksh93 supports associative arrays. For an associative array, the subscript is a string rather than an arithmetic expression. There is no limit to the number of elements in an associate array. In ksh93n (released in 2002), the indexed array size was changed to 67,108,863. although it was incorrectly documented as 16Megs. David Korn dgk at research.att.com
