Really!? Does "people" actively filter them
Yes. I'm only filtering the posts in 7 of the 85 newsgroups I try
to follow daily. 'comp.os.linux.misc' is a good example why the posts
are filtered. Complaints to google are answered by an ignore.bot, so
some people are ignoring google in return.
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...
I know the problem - we can't post from the news server at work, and
access to regular news servers is otherwise blocked. Our posting access
at work consists of a number of systems located in employee break areas
and the cafeteria which only have dialout access.
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...
That does make for difficulties.
The real Korn shell was restricted, and never included in older
versions of Red Hat - rather including a Public Domain version.
OK.
You may want to try
[compton ~]$ rpm -q pdksh
package pdksh is not installed
[compton ~]$
to see if it is installed. The Korn shell isn't that widely used as
it once was, but a lot of the features are included in the Bash shell.
Are there any Korn specific commands needed, or can you alter the
script to use /bin/bash?

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?
As root, '/bin/rpm -I /path/to/pdksh-5.2.14-13.i386.rpm' and in she
goes.
I suspect that the package for Red Hat 7.1 (pdksh-5.2.14-12.i386.rpm)
and 7.3 (pdksh-5.2.14-16.i386.rpm) would also install, but can't say
that for certain.
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 :)
That may be a big problem, as a lot of things have changed since
7.2. Current versions are using a completely different breed of kernel,
and many of the libraries have been "improved". The CAD tools may not
be usable, which is probably not a good thing.
