Really!? Does "people" actively filter them - or do they lack any
vital parts? I know, I don't get much "respect" when posting through
Google, but it is actually quite convenient in my place, when
switching between several computers - and when the firewall at my work
is pretty strict. I might reconsider this...

Contact who ever is "administering" this obsolete system, and have them
dig up the installation disks and install the 'pdksh' package.

I will - although he's a rather rare guest...

The
real Korn shell was restricted, and never included in older versions of
Red Hat - rather including a Public Domain version.

OK.

If that's really 7.2, become root, insert the distribution CD (not sure
which one) and use 'rpm' to install the pdksh-5.2.14-13 package. If the
original CDs aren't available, search for the package

181294 Sep 7 2001 pdksh-5.2.14-13.i386.rpm

Nice! So if I find a package of that name (on a trustworthy page), I
will be able to install it in Redhat 7.2?

'cat /etc/redhat-release' 7.2 was called 'enigma'. A very significant
problem is that it came out in October 2001, was last officially updated
in December 2003, and even unofficial support ended in May 2004. It is
very obsolete.

I assume it is installed here, because other CAD tools have been
proven to work in it. I will stand up for a renewal, though :)

Thanks a lot for your detailed description.
