Lines: 9 At one point KSH had different syntax for things like shell functions and the like as KSH was based on the System V release of the shell, when those functions were unavailable in the shell. The shell in VR2 had these functions, but slightly different. I believe most of this was resolved when the legally available version of ksh came out. If you have a non- compatible one you are either an AT&T employee or have a illegitimate copy of an early release. -Ron
