Erm... two items: 1. B72 integrated ksh93 version "s-" (which was an "alpha" version, too) - and for the first attempt it was AFAIK quite good. And the upcoming ksh93t- will be "better" since we learned from our mistakes. 2. Looking at the number of bugs open in bugster and other problems I think we can't wait much longer. ksh93t+ will likely not be available before mid-2009. We're simply running out of time - that's why we invested the whole last month with testing ksh93t- and making sure it is fully functional and bug-free. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
