   I was just wondering if the Korn Shell is avaliable for FreeBSD 2.2.1?
   :)

pdksh is a free ksh clone.
Lucent (ex Bell-Labs, ex AT&T) also offers for free (well, not really
freeware but you don't have to pay anything) ksh93 for BSDi BSD/386 
in its astkit software (runs nice on FreeBSD).  You can download it
directly from a Lucent server (don't have the URL handy, www.bell-labs.com
or lucent.com or sth should point you to it).
