You've been suffering a lot from insults and disbelievers and I don't
understand why :(

I didn't post before because I thought I didn't have access to a Unix
box. Then I remembered that there is some old iron here. FWIW, here are
some samples from a session I just ran:

Cheers, Dave
Thanks Dave. While Unix and Linux are similar, there are a lot of interesting differences. The standard version of ksh on Unix is the '88 version. AIX also has a ksh93, which is an early version of KornShell 1993, the POSIX compliant version. When AT&T sold Unix to Novell, they did not include the AST package, which included ksh93. Until 2000, the AST package was available as a separate license. For those who like trivia, dtksh was written by David Korn's son.

The tractor is warmed up. Got to go and feed some hay to the cows. A chilly morning at 6 degrees Fahrenheit. Cows will eat a lot today to keep warm.
