In case you are asking that, I have ksh running on SunOS and sources for it, too. Tor> Do you really write shell scripts in csh? I think it is generally Tor> agreed that Bourne (or Korn) shell is the right shell to use for scripts. You missed the point! I already know csh and I'm not keen on learning a new shell.
