[Mingw-users] KSH on MinGW ( FAQ Project ??)

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

KSH 93 is out into open source.  According to David, the actual terms are
locked in some middle-east sytle negotiations between Richard and ATT's
room-full-o-laywers.

Eitherway, he really convinced me that KSH has fleshed itself out as a
procedural language, successfully keeping perl out of their development
environment.

Much of its feature set is un-advertised, so a new KSH doc would be
appropriate, with mucho examples.

So far the only really huge problem w/ any shell on win32 is the path setting.

UWIN takes the step of dropping you into an artificial FS, where c: becomes /c/
.

I'm personally not w/ that.  Amol's ZSH solves that problem w/ the following
syntax:

path=( c:/usr/bin c:/WINNT4/System32 ) 

Who knows...
