For those interested in a public domain version of ksh, there is one
available by anonymous FTP from the site `gpu.utcs.toronto.edu'. It was
not derived from the AT&T sources.

Does anyone have any reports on this public domain ksh?
Compatibility, portability?

[This is an interesting subject, but better discussed on
comp.sources.d. So I've cross-posted it there and have
directed followups there as well. tww]

You did not try to access it. It is mode 750. Thus anon-ftp
can not read it.

[Messages like this should be sent to the person
responsible for the archive, not to comp.archives.
First, it is a waste of bandwidth. Second, it is
rude. And third, the archive administrator may not
even read this newsgroup. You should only post when
you have reason to believe that the person can not be
reached through e-mail. tww]

Dear me, how can I take your sources ?
My problems are:
- language (I am Italian, and English is driving me mad!)
- USENET (I am a beginner)
- ftp (HOW CAN I ACCESS YOUR MACHINE?)

[For ftp access, you need to be on the Internet. Ask
your system administrator. If you are, the ftp
program is documented in chapter 1 of the UNIX
manuals. If you aren't using UNIX, I can't help.

Ftp requires that you give the other system a user
name and password; exactly what I'm not sure. Would
someone be kind enough to post a summary of the
standard user names and passwords for anonymous ftp?

Before trying to get ksh, you should read the
following. tww]

That was an old, unauthorized version.
The current version will be made available soon at waterloo.edu.
