It attempts to emulate ksh88, with a few ksh93 features that POSIX specifies. The ksh88 and ksh93 features that bash does not implement (with suggested bash equivalents for a few) are listed in the FAQ. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ( ``Discere est Dolere'' -- chet) Chet Ramey, CWRU chet@po.CWRU.Edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
