Lines: 19 Let me get this right, it's okay for Larry Wall to post announcements about the availability of perl in comp.lang.perl but it's not okay to announce the availability of ksh in comp.lang.shell? Right, you guys are just too much. Wall benefits financially, albeit indirectly, from his work on perl; likewise for Korn. What's the difference? None, except Korn is employed privately whereas Wall is employed by the US federal gov't. If anyone thinks there is a difference between AT&T and the US federal gov't benefitting from their employees work I'm gonna puke. Also, I have seen far too many posts asking "What is the latest ksh and where can I get it?" I am tired of seeing them[!], my post will help put an end to it. I will continue to post announcements of ksh availability here. Till next time ... -- Larry Cipriani, att!cbvox!lvc or lvc@cbvox.att.com "Save a logger, eat an owl"
