functional archie clients (sources) are available on ftp.sura.net:/pub/archie.

zsh is mostly a superset of ksh functionality.

ftp.sterling.com:/pub/zsh

pdksh is also available.  I don't know where the official site is for it,
but every linux archive with Slackware source will have the source  package.
v5.something is current.  Here's one:

Host mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu

    Location: /pub/linux/distributions/slackware_source/contrib/pdksh
           FILE -r--r--r--     258658  Sep 13 13:57  pdksh-5.0.6.tar.gz
