ksh93 for Cygwin will be available soon. The official downloadable source
for ksh in its current state won't compile on Cygwin OOTB.
I am waiting for an sour
Hi,
ksh93 is capable of keeping specially prepared executables as builtins.
Below is a copy of a mail I just got from the AT&T research labs with
some comments on how to implement such things, and a link where you can
download ksh93 source and binaries (yes, Cygwin binaries).
Please follow the in

This is a release done by AT&T, I have nothing to do with it.
I was waiting for their new source code to be released.
I only noticed this discussion on the list and forwarded it to them.
As you will have noticed, they compiled with C

OK, another quote from the SUSv3 docs

Chris,
I have successfully compiled ksh93 and almost all of the AT&T ast
libraries and tools on a vanilla Cygwin 1.3.10 system.
I am willing to create Cygwin setup compatible packages for these and to
maintain them in future.
But, I see some problems in providing a "complete package" as defined
Hi Cygwin folks,
having seen some references to pdksh on the list today I think I must have a
"coming out" now.
I've been working with David Korn and Glenn Fowler some weeks ago to get the
real ksh93 and all the other AT&T stuff (AST libraries and tools) going on
Cygwin.
There are still some prob

OK, I triggered this.
I'll be quiet now.

P.S.: I gave you some clues about real bugs in Cygwin. Maybe someone else

Glenn Fowler and David Korn will prepare a message. Is that OK? Or must an
AT&T lawyer be involved?
