Umm, credit where credit is due; you meant "a la 4.3BSD C shell".

We had it when I was at Sun, but I think it came from somewhere else; I
don't know where.

>(Are you allowed to make enhancements to ksh?

I don't see why not.  Of course, you can't post the changed files to the
net; presumably, there are no worse restrictions on posting deltas than
there are for posting deltas to other AT&T-licensed code (he says,
weaselwordedly; I don't know what AT&T's lawyers would think about e.g.
"diff -c" output, if they knew about it, and I don't know if anybody
else from AT&T would want to tell them about it, for fear of what they
would think...).
