Hi! ----
Irek: I'm setting the Reply-To: to opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org ... I would be really nice to keep the "stone throwing" out of the ksh93-integration-disc...@opensolars.org list - we're trying to get technical stuff done in this list and not rant about the history of Solaris or throw slime around (or do flamewars, license discussions (like "CDDL/CPL are evil, GPL is the only true choice" etc.) etc.).

Many many people at Sun helped with the project - remeber that without the help from people like April Chin this project wouldn't even exist, others helped with the ARC cases, tesing and the code and people like Peter provided very valueable input and bug reports. And Sun did invest lots of time and money getting the POSIX commands in Solaris maintained, updated to conform to the POSIX standard, keeping a very high quality standard (which is not easy to match with a new codebase - even getting the AST tools (which were very good from the beginning) to the same level took many many months) and finally getting ksh93 integrated into OS/Net.

I don't know whether the following is a quote from the bible... but: Could we please continue to cooperate and not try to tear each other into pieces ?
