I would highly suggest you ftp SKsh 1.7. Much has been changed. Steve
has added several new features and options to help conserve memory. He
has also fixed the file completion problem (wrote to loc. 04), seems to
have fixed the problems with the A3000, and is working on 2.0
compatibility.

Note to those complaining about wildcards vs. regexp`s and lack of a
Unix-feel, or, if you want 'real' shell scripts without having to learn
AREXX, or lots of other unix-like shell niceties:

Go get Sksh and quit your griping! :^)
