Mortice Kern Systems has KSH available in their trilogy package.  Though
I haven't purchased it yet, I have a version in the messy dos MKS tool kit.
Also available is one from ASPEN systems (?) 

Please note that I am not personally familliar with either product, nor am I
in any way connected with either company.  I am very pleased wit h the MKS
tool kit, and am very unhappy with the XENIX csh.  Does anybody out there is
comp.unix.xenix-land know if any available shell product offers job control 
features similar to those in the BSD csh ? 

thanks,
Mark
