- I can imagine that you are desperate. I had to use the csh for a few days
- (on 386BSD) and I finally found the zorn-shell (zsh).
- I don't know how easy this is to port to SysV-ish systems, though.
- But, there is a cure for your desperation, anyway.
-
- We are using the korn-shell (ksh) on our Interactive 3.2 Rel. 2.2.1 system
- without any problems.
- You should get it (if you can afford it). I am not sure how we got it, but
- we have it and it works well.

- Norbert.
