Surely someone has already done this for the Korn shell. Is there such

Or do I need to do it myself?
I don't know, but it could be fun to do.
If you want, choose a not too complex task, and write up a REXX exec for
it. I'd gladly code up an equivalent bash script.
Actually, I've been doing it the other way around: I bought a copy of Dave
Taylor's _Wicked_Cool_Shell_Scripts_. I'm steadily re-writing his scripts in
Rexx. My biggest problem so far is to resist the temptation to improve them in
ways that ksh/bash cannot match... ;-)
