The Microport BBS has the 286 executable of ksh which you can download for the price of the phone call. I did this myself about 2 weeks ago, and the last time I logged in there last week, they still had it. They also have lots and lots of good PD software already ported over to SV/AT. If you'd like to go shopping, give them a call. Below is the contents of a letter i sent to Tom (???) the original poster of this question. ============================================================== ksh for SV/AT is available as a downloadable executable. source is not public domain and not available from uport. ksh only supports the VI command line sequence, no emacs. (ksh had to be compiled in small model and both couldn't be fit into 64K :-( in order to download, you must call up the bbs, login, and register your copy by giving them the serial number off of your boot disk. in a few days (hopefuly) you will be able to call up and download any files you want. i highly suggest doing this. the bbs not only has lots of very good public domain utilities (less, 16-bit compress, larry wall's patch and rn, etc,... ) but also this is where they post patches and fixes for the kernal and utilities. in any case, call up and browse around, you can send messages to john sully, or other microport people, and also read about other peoples problems. the phone numbers are: 408-438-6567 (2400/1200/300) 408-438-6687 (2400/1200/300) 408-438-2492 (1200/300) i hope this helps! ===================================================================== Bill Rankin Bell Labs, Whippany NJ (201) 386-4154 (cornet 232) email address: ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd allegra ]!moss!wtr ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua watmath ]!clyde!wtr =====================================================================
