- The ksh which is distributed with Coherent is acceptable but not
- complete (at least the way I know ksh). I seriously miss the
- the following features:
-
- o vi editting mode
- o ^Z, fg, bg for job control
- o variable substitution using ${i%%pattern} or ${i##pattern}
-
- Is anyone aware of a replacement shell which provides these capabilities?
- Is the source for the ksh Coherent ships available? In the 286 manual the
- discussion of ksh says that part of it was excluded due to the memory
- restrictions of small model.
