I would like to get hold of the sources for ksh(1). I have been using ksh
for quite some time on a sun3 with only minor problems. I recompiled the
sources for a sparc and discovered a number of problems:

1> The vi command line editing didn't work
2> When "exec -ksh" was run, the .profile file was not auto-sourced
3> Also had problems when something like "cd > /dev/null" was executed.
From then on, I lost all stdout (I think it was going to /dev/null).

Thanx.

Call AT&T ToolChest. Save time by cutting a PO for $3,000 plus $50 for

previous license is cheaper.

Which is it, do you have the source or not?

What version of ksh are you using? Use the commands:

$ set -o emacs # if you're not in emacs mode
$ ^V # that's control-V
$ set -o vi # if you want to go to vi mode

and you should get something like:

Version 11/16/88d

Quote:> 1> The vi command line editing didn't work

Please be more specific.

Quote:> 2> When "exec -ksh" was run, the .profile file was not auto-sourced

It's not supposed to be auto-sourced; however the ENV file is sourced.

Quote:> 3> Also had problems when something like "cd > /dev/null" was executed.
> From then on, I lost all stdout (I think it was going to /dev/null).

Works for me.

11/16/88f ksh should be available late January '91; I'll post a note when
it's available.
