Last updated Jul '99 for pdksh-5.2.14.

PDksh is a mostly complete AT&T ksh look-alike (see NOTES file for a list of things not supported). Work is mostly finished to make it fully compatible with both POSIX and AT&T ksh (when the two don't conflict).

PDksh was being maintained by Michael Rendell ([email protected]), who took over from Simon J. Gerraty ([email protected]) at the latter's suggestion.

Files of interest: CONTRIBUTORS short history of pdksh, people who contributed, etc. NOTES lists of known bugs in pdksh, at&t ksh, and posix. PROJECTS list of things that need to be done in pdksh. LEGAL A file detailing legal issues concerning pdksh.

BTW, THE MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED BUG IS echo hi | read a; echo $a # Does not print hi I'm aware of this and there is no need to report it.
