Does the Korn Shell work under BSD42?

Does KSH run under BSD42 as delivered, or does it require hacking? I
noticed that in the toolchest's description that it "supports csh-like
job control on systems which support it", but nothing came right out and
said that KSH ran under BSD.

Could anybody give me pointers to a source (or BINARY) for ksh.
We have the requisite licences for 4.2BSD and System V.

You mean KSH is *AVAILABLE* ??? I was told (by AT&T employees, etc., all
unofficially) that ksh is used internally *ONLY*, and is not available
to us common folk (read: non-AT&T).

So how do I get it, what licenses do I need, how much does it cost?

It's available through the ATT software toolchest.

There's Unix-based bulletin board system operated by AT&T (+1 201 522
6900, user "guest"), called something like the AT&T Software Toolchest.
You can peruse descriptions and prices of all kinds of tools. If you
want any, you leave a message and they send you a contract you sign
and return with a $100 signup fee. Then you can download the freebies
(like getopt) and order the non-freebies. As I recall, ksh was $2000
for source code.

The AT&T toolchest is a bulletin board style store that sells source for
a number of things that AT&T doesn't want to support. This includes ksh.
