Source: pdksh
Section: shells
Priority: extra
Maintainer: Mark Baker <mbaker@iee.org>
Standards-Version: 2.4.0.0
Package: pdksh
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: A public domain version of the Korn shell
PD-ksh is a mostly complete AT&T ksh look-alike (see NOTES file for a list
of things not supported). Work is currently underway to make it fully
compatible with both POSIX and AT&T ksh (when the two don't conflict).
.
Since pdksh is free and compiles and runs on most common unix systems, it
is very useful in creating a consistent user interface across multiple
machines. For example, in the CS dept. of MUN, pdksh is installed on a
variety of machines including Suns, HPs, DecStations, pcs running Linux,
etc., and is the login shell of ~4500 users.
