The original ksh is a commercial product, sold, I believe, by AT&T.
The GNU bash immitates some behaviour, but I found it to be quite
buggy still.

Recently I located the source of a public domain ksh on a system
and transferred it to our systems here. I did some changes to make
the program compile on both SUN OS 3.5 and BSD 4.3. You can get the
program and patches via ftp from sbsvax.cs.uni-sb.de (134.96.252.31) in
directory pub/pd-ksh.
It is not a complete rewrite of the ksh. If you want to extend it
you are welcome.

If you find bugs, I would appreciate it if you sent them to me, but
don't expect quick bug fixes, as I did not write this program and
am looking after it only in my sparse spare time.

Have fun,
