[osol-discuss] Some impressions (ksh related)

2005-07-27 Thread Helmar Wodtke
Hi at all, I'm really impressed by the discussion about ksh. But I dont get the point. Some basic logic says to me that something that's not available does not exist. So if there is no source for ksh88 it's not a good point to talk about it in an environment that talks about open source. It's
