This package is a patched version of the OpenBSD ksh, which is based on
|
|
the original PD-ksh, but heavily modified and maintained by OpenBSD
|
|
developers. "Patched" means ported to Linux.
|
|
You can download the source package from a mirror listed in the
|
|
slackbuild's info file, or you can always checkout the latest source
|
|
from OpenBSD's repository.
|
|
|
|
PD-ksh is a clone of the AT&T Korn shell.
|
|
|
|
PD-ksh has most of the ksh88 features, not much of the ksh93 features,
|
|
and a number of its own features.
|
|
Strong points are:
|
|
It is free and quite portable - you should be able to compile it easily
|
|
on pretty much any unix box.
|
|
The vi editing mode is better (IMHO) than that of ksh88 or ksh93
|
|
(command/file completion using tab (optional), less buggy).
|
|
Its weak points are that there are still a few differences from ksh88.
