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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ EDV Ges.m.b.H Vienna Johann Schweigl Hofmuehlgasse 3 - 5 USENET: johnny@edvvie.at A-1060 Vienna, Austria Tel: (0043) (222) 59907 257 (8-19 CET)
