in your opinion of the two, any comparisons you might give.
I've never used ksh93 so I really can't say. There is a NOTES file
included with pdksh which gives a starter. I created this port a few
years ago because of some random issue I've long since forgotten with
pdksh on my FreeBSD box which didn't happen on my OpenBSD box.

I never used pdksh, but am using ksh93 for quite a while now and have used
bash, too. For some reason i like it better than bash, the vi mode is a bit
better somehow, it feels alot sturdier. It doesn't have those special
variables like $! and !! i believe, but it has alot of neat features like
basic network programming, lots of parameter expansion stuff and is just a
very nice shell :)
I havre installed it, and played with it a bit, I admit it's nicer than
sh (and I *think*, bash) but the reason I haven't tried using it
regularly is because I can't find a nicely set up .kshrc ... if you have
one, I'd appreciate a copy. Might be nice, if it's not terribly long,
to post it to the list, too.
