Ksh-i (international version) is available from:
AT&T Unix Europe
International House
Ealing Broadway
LONDON W5 5DB, England
Telephone: 01-567 7711
FAX: 01-567 2420
TELEX: 914054 UNIXTM G

The source licence is $3000 (Phew ...)
I hope the adress and phone numbers are correct, 'cause they date back to
a March '88 Catalog. Just ask for the Unix System Toolchest description.

I ported ksh to AIX 2.2.1 for a friend of mine. No Problems. You can get a
SYSV version of ksh up and running with a few makefile corrections and a
cup of coffee during compile.
I tried to compile it on AIX/PS2 1.1, telling make that I have a BSD system, just to get job control. It seemed to run, but had bugs when forking a subprocess. Up to now I did not track down the problem. Telling make to compile for SYSV
did not hel either.
