Bugs, Limitations, and Future Directions
SKsh
A ksh-like Shell for the Amiga
Version 1.4
(Copyright) 1989, 1990

Known Bugs and Limitations
Function definitions cannot be listed with the 'set' command.
This would not be terribly difficult to add; but it would make
the executable larger.
An explicit return code cannot be returned from a function or
script.
The 'exit' statement does not work correctly in a script or
function, only when typed interactively.
If a case statement pattern uses a character class (such as
[abc]), the pattern must be single or double quoted.
Future Directions
This is a brief list of things I may add in future versions of
SKsh.
- More unix-like commands, such as sort, and diff. These
are currently available elsewhere as public domain or
freely distributable code.
- Arexx support. I have to look into what this involves,
how useful it is, and how difficult it is to do, first.
- Better use of ARP. ARP was a very late addition to SKsh
(like last 2 days type of late). As long as ARP is
around, I can probably make better use of it than I do
now, which would make SKsh smaller.
