# After version 7.6 came out, I stopped working on tksh (at that
# point, tcl was changing so quickly I got frustrated trying to
# keeping up). However, now that ksh and tksh are open-source, there
# seems to be renewed interest. I recently started working at AT&T so

FYI. I'm posting this slighly reformatted reply that I received from
Jeff Korn with his permission. Thanks Jeff.
