There is another, I originally got mine for a PC 6300 PLUS and got a 40%
discount when I upgraded to Xenix -

Aspen Technologies, Inc.
P.O. Box 5727
Parsippany, NJ  07054   (201) 316-0866 (they accept collect calls)

A nice addition they made to ksh is kforms, a menu-like thing that lets
you do things within the shell that you'd otherwise have to do (sigh!)
with curses...  Last note, they are the only source for documentation
written for mere mortals, very easy to understand and even examples that
serve a useful purpose.  Foo and baz are OK, but these people give you
something to type in and watch!
