"Patched" means ported to Linux. +You can download the source package from a mirror listed in the +slackbuild's info file, or you can always checkout the latest source +from OpenBSD's repository. + +PD-ksh is a clone of the AT&T Korn shell. + +PD-ksh has most of the ksh88 features, not much of the ksh93 features, +and a number of its own features. It is free and quite portable - you +should be able to compile it easily on pretty much any unix box. +The vi editing mode is better (IMHO) than that of ksh88 or ksh93 +(command/file completion using tab (optional), less buggy). |
