VSC is the UNIX98 and UNIX03 standards conformance test suite I ran using ksh93 (the older version, ksh93q; I have not yet run ksh93r). There were about 80-90 new failures and 80 new cases of unresolved results. VSC does test the standard shell (ksh) itself and also uses the standard shell when running all of its tests. I have not run SVVS. > > mike > > Notes: > [1]Apparently, the suites rely heavily on ksh scripts even though they > don't explicitly test ksh. > _______________________________________________ > ksh93-integration-discuss mailing list > ksh93-integration-discuss at opensolaris.org > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ksh93-integration-discuss
