The bad news is that I've mostly used the Berkeley C-Shell in the past, and they want me to use the Korn Shell like the rest of their programmers. Thus, in the next seven days I need to go thru a crash course in KSH progrmming. I've already got the Cygwin SH, and BASH here, and I recognize the the Korn shell is by design a strict semantic superset of the origianal Bourne Shell. Thus, anything I can do with SH will work in the new environment. Since I've got a full week here, I'd really like to get ahold of a working copy of the KSH, so that I can play with it and learn its intricacies and subtleties. Question One: Is the Ksh freely distributed, and is there even a Win32 port available? Question Two: If it is not free, but someone on the list does have it, could you let me use a copy of it for the next week? Comments and Ideas always appreciated. Peace. David L.
