AIX5L has ksh93. I'd suggest to abandon the proprietary Solaris ship before it sinks and replace it with something sane - Linux, AIX5L, etc. - they're all better choices than a OS which can't even update it's korn shell to a decent version. -- Robin      |

Anyone can download ksh93 source (or binaries, not that I've tried them) for themselves; and when OpenSolaris comes out, anyone would be in a position to try and get it added, or else roll their own distro. -- mailto:rlhamil@smart.net http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil Lasik/PRK theme music: "In the Hall of the Mountain King", from "Peer Gynt" |
