You can find it at: >ftp.stack.urc.tue.nl:/pub/386bsd/0.1-ports/shells It took me only a few minutes to get pd-ksh v4.8 (current version) running semi ok under 386bsd. I'm still using that binary! I have not had time to finnish the port - there is a problem with pipe-lines sometimes starting without access to the tty requiring 'fg' to get them going. I'm sure it will be trivial to fix, but I have not had time to look at it yet. Once I have done a propper port (and solved my backup problems - see all my postings about problems with my 60Mb tape drive... :-) I will release patch set 9. For those that can't wait, I suggest building just the sh directory as 386bsd is a pretty good posix target - that's what I did. --sjg <sjg@zen.void.oz.au> don't bother mailing as the link is still dead... -- Simon J.
