You're correct that the Korn Shell is available through the AT&T Toolchest,
though the price for a site license is $3,000.  The $20,000 fee is for
the right to sublicense (sell binary copies) of Korn Shell.   The
Korn Shell will also be included in the UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0
Source distribution for those of you who may have access to that.
