### ast-ksh package The AT&T Software Technology ast-ksh package from AT&T Research contains ksh and support libraries. This is the minimal set of components needed to build ksh. Components in this package:
ksh93 | libast | libcmd | libdll | libsum
This package is a superset of the following package: ksh; you won't need this if you download ast-ksh. A recent release change log is also included. ### ksh93 KSH-93 is the most recent version of the KornShell Language described in "The KornShell Command and Programming Language," by Morris Bolsky and David Korn of AT&T Bell Laboratories, ISBN 0-13-182700-6. The KornShell is a shell programming language, which is upward compatible with "sh" (the Bourne Shell), and is intended to conform to the IEEE P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Utilities standard. KSH-93 provides an enhanced programming environment in addition to the major command-entry features of the BSD shell "csh". With KSH-93, medium-sized programming tasks can be performed at shell-level without a significant loss in performance. In addition, "sh" scripts can be run on KSH-93 without modification. The code should conform to the IEEE POSIX 1003.1 standard and to the proposed ANSI-C standard so that it should be portable to all such systems. Like the previous version, KSH-88, it is designed to accept eight bit character sets transparently, thereby making it internationally compatible. It can support multi-byte characters sets with some characteristics of the character set given at run time. KSH-93 provides the following features, many of which were also inherent in KSH-88: Enhanced Command Re-entry Capability: The KSH-93 history function records commands entered at any shell level and stores them, up to a user-specified limit, even after you log off. This allows you to re-enter long commands with a few keystrokes - even those commands you entered yesterday. The history file allows for eight bit characters in commands and supports essentially unlimited size histories. In-line Editing: In "sh", the only way to fix mistyped commands is to backspace or retype the line. KSH-93 allows you to edit a command line using a choice of EMACS-TC or "vi" functions. You can use the in-line editors to complete filenames as you type them. You may also use this editing feature when entering command lines from your history file. A user can capture keystrokes and rebind keys to customize the editing interface. Extended I/O Capabilities: KSH-93 provides several I/O capabilities not available in "sh", including the ability to: specify a file descriptor for input and output start up and run co-processes produce a prompt at the terminal before a read easily format and interpret responses to a menu echo lines exactly as output without escape processing format output using printf formats. read and echo lines ending in "\". Improved performance: KSH-93 executes many scripts faster than the System V Bourne shell. A major reason for this is that many of the standard utilities are built-in. To reduce the time to initiate a command, KSH-93 allows commands to be added as built-ins at run time on systems that support dynamic loading such as System V Release 4. Arithmetic: KSH-93 allows you to do integer arithmetic in any base from two to sixty-four. You can also do double precision floating point arithmetic. Almost the complete set of C language operators are available with the same syntax and precedence. Arithmetic expressions can be used to as an argument expansion or as a separate command. In addition there is an arithmetic for command that works like the for statement in C. Arrays: KSH-93 supports both indexed and associative arrays. The subscript for an indexed array is an arithmetic expression, whereas, the subscript for an associative array is a string. Shell Functions and Aliases: Two mechanisms - functions and aliases - can be used to assign a user-selected identifier to an existing command or shell script. Functions allow local variables and provide scoping for exception handling. Functions can be searched for and loaded on first reference the way scripts are. Substring Capabilities: KSH-93 allows you to create a substring of any given string either by specifying the starting offset and length, or by stripping off leading or trailing substrings during parameter substitution. You can also specify attributes, such as upper and lower case, field width, and justification to shell variables. More pattern matching capabilities: KSH-93 allows you to specify extended regular expressions for file and string matches. KSH-93 uses a hierarchal name space for variables. Compound variables can be defined and variables can be passed by reference. In addition, each variable can have one or more disciplines associated with it to intercept assignments and references. Improved debugging: KSH-93 can generate line numbers on execution traces. Also, I/O redirections are now traced. There is a DEBUG trap that gets evaluated before each command so that errors can be localized. Job Control: On systems that support job control, including System V Release 4, KSH-93 provides a job-control mechanism almost identical to that of the BSD "csh", version 4.1. This feature allows you to stop and restart programs, and to move programs between the foreground and the background. Added security: KSH-93 can execute scripts which do not have read permission and scripts which have the setuid and/or setgid set when invoked by name, rather than as an argument to the shell. It is possible to log or control the execution of setuid and/or setgid scripts. The noclobber option prevents you from accidentally erasing a file by redirecting to an existing file. KSH-93 can be extended by adding built-in commands at run time. In addition, KSH-93 can be used as a library that can be embedded into an application to allow scripting. Documentation for KSH-93 consists of an "Introduction to KSH-93", "Compatibility with the Bourne Shell" and a manual page and a README file. In addition, the "New KornShell Command and Programming Language," book is available from Prentice Hall. ### release change log

    09-04-08  A change was made in the -n option which printed out an incorrect
    	  warning with <>.
    09-04-07  The emacs edit command M-_ and M_. and the vi command _ was fixed
    	  to handle the case there there is no history file.
    09-04-05  A bug in handling new-lines with read -n has been fixed.
    09-04-05  The ENV variable defaults the the file named by $HOME/.kshrc rather
    	  then to the string $HOME/.kshrc.
    09-03-31  A bug in which a nested command substitution with redirections could
    	  leave a file descriptor open has been fixed.
    09-03-24  ksh now only uses the value of the _ variable on startup if it can
    	  verify that it was set by the invoking process rather than being
    	  inherited by some other ancestor.
    09-03-24  When ksh is invoked without -p and ruid!=euid, and the shell is
    	  compiled without SHOPT_P_UID or ruid<SHOPT_P_UID, the shell now
    	  enables the -p option.  The previous version instead set the
    	  euid to the ruid as it does for set +p.
    09-03-24  When SHOPT_P_UID is defined at compile time and the shell is started
    	  without -p and ruid!=euid and ruid>=SHOPT_P_UID then euid is set
    	  to ruid. A bug that did the wrong test (ruid<SHOPT_P_UID) was fixed.
    09-03-17  The sleep(1) builtin now accept and ISO 8601 PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
    	  duration or date(1) compatible date/time operand.
    09-03-10  If a variable that was left or right justified or zero-filled was

    	  or zero-filled, then the original justification no longer affects
    	  the result.
    09-03-10  A bug in the handling of traps when the last command in a script
    	  is a subshell grouping command has been fixed.

    	  except that if the command it is applied to succeeds, the file
    	  is truncated to the offset at the command completion.
    09-01-23  The default file descriptor for <> was changed to 1.
    09-01-20  A bug in which the exit status specified in an exit trap was

    	  a variable is set.
    09-01-14  The unset built-in was modified to return 0 exit status when
    	  unsetting a variable that was unset to conform with the POSIX
    	  standard.

    	  for could, in rare instances, cause the shell to go into an infinite
    	  loop or fail has been fixed.
    09-01-06  A bug in indexed arrays of compound variables in which referencing
    	  non-existent sub-variable in an arithmetic expression could cause
    	  the sub-variable to be created has been fixed.
    09-01-05  A bug in which the  character did not escape extended regular
    	  expression pattern characters has been fixed.

    08-12-07  A timing bug on some systems (for example darwin), that could
    	  cause the last process of a pipeline entered interactively to fail
    	  with an "Exec format error" has been fixed.
    08-12-04  SHOPT_BGX enables background job extensions. Noted by "J" in
    	  the version string when enabled. (1) JOBMAX=n limits the number
    	  of concurrent & jobs to n; the n+1 & job will block until a
    	  running background job completes. (2) SIGCHLD traps are queued
    	  so that each completing background job gets its own trap; $! is
    	  set to the job pid and $? is set to the job exit status at the
    	  beginning of the trap. (3) sleep -s added to sleep until the time
    	  expires or until a signal is delivered.
    08-12-04  The sign of floating point zero is preserved across arithmetic
    	  function calls.

              numerical value of the EURO symbol, 8354, has been fixed.
    08-11-24  /dev/fd* and /dev/std* redirections are first attempted with
    	  open() to preserve seek semantics; failing that the corresponding
    	  file descriptors are dup()'d.
    08-11-20  A bug which could cause a core dump if a function compiled with
    	  shcomp was found has been fixed.
    08-11-20  A bug in which jobs were not cleared from the jobs table for
    	  interactive shells when the pipefail option is on has been fixed.
    08-11-11  A bug in which a field that was unset in a type definition and later
    	  set for an instance could appear twice when displaying the variable
    	  has been fixed.
    08-11-11  A bug in which running a simple command & inside a function would
    	  not return the correct process id has been fixed.
    08=11-10  A bug in which the exit status of a command could be lost if the pid
    	  was that of the most recent command substitution that had completed
    	  has been fixed.
    08-11-10  The maximum depth for subshells has been increased from 256 to 65536.
    08-11-06  A bug which could cause a core dump when the _ reference variable was

    	  been fixed.
    08-09-29  When the -p export option of typeset is used with other options,
    	  only those variables matching the specified options are displayed.
    08-09-29  When the shell reads the environment and finds variables that are
    	  not valid shell assignments, it now passes these on to subsequent
    	  commands rather than deleting them.

    	  the same array.
    08-09-09  The exit status of 2 from the DEBUG trap causes the next command
    	  to be skipped.  An exit value of 255 from a DEBUG trap called from
    	  a function causes the function to return.
    08-09-08  A bug in which a coprocess created in a subshell that did not
    	  complete when the subshell terminated could prevent a coprocess
    	  from being created in the parent shell has been fixed.
    08-09-05  An assignment of the form name1=name2 where name1 and name2
    	  are both compound variables causes name1 to get a copy of name2.
    	  name1+=name2 causes name2 sub-variables to be appended to name1.
    08-09-05  A bug in which unsetting a compound variable did not unset all

    08-08-25  For an indexed array, a negative subscript now refers to offsets
    	  from the end so that -1 refers to the last element.
    08-08-24  An alignment error for shorts on 64 bit architectures has been fixed.
    08-08-22  If oldvar is a compound variable, typeset -C newvar=oldvar creates
    	  newvar as a copy of oldvar.

    08-08-13  When used in an arithmetic expression, the .sh.version variable
    	  now produces a number that will be increasing for each release.
    08-08-11  A bug in which type instantiation with a compound assignment in
    	  a dot script in which the type is defined has been fixed.
    08-08-07  The -m option has been added to typeset to move or rename a

    	  from with a here document could cause a syntax error has been fixed.
    08-07-18  A bug in which a nameref caused a local variable to be created
    	  rather than binding to an existing variable in the global scope
    	  has been fixed.
    08-07-17  A bug which occurred when a nameref was created from within a
    	  function that was  part of a pipeline has been fixed.
    08-07-14  The compile option SHOPT_STATS was added. With this option the
    	  compound variable .sh.stats keeps usage statistics that could help
    	  with performance tuning.
    08-07-10  The output of set now always uses a single line for each variable.
    	  For array variables, the complete set of values is now displayed.
    08-07-09  The typeset -C option can be used with arrays to indicate that
    	  each element should default to a compound variable.
    08-07-08  The %B format now outputs compound variables and arrays.  The
    	  alternate flag # can be used to cause output into a single line.

    	  specified variable was not set has been fixed.
    08-06-16  When typeset -p is followed by variable names, it now displays
    	  the attributes names and values for the specific names.

    08-06-13  A bug in which a compound variable defined in a subshell could
    	  have side effects into the parent shell has been fixed.
    08-06-13  A number of bugs related to using .sh.level to set the stack from
    	  for DEBUG traps have been fixed.
    08-06-13  The .sh.lineno variable has been added.  When .sh.level is changed
    	  inside a DEBUG trap, the .sh.lineno contains the calling line number
    	  for the specified stack frame.
    08-06-13  The .sh.level variable has been documented and now works.
    08-06-11  The -C option has been added to read for reading compound command
    	  definitions from a file.
    08-06-11  The . command is now permitted inside a compound command definition.
    	  The dot script can contain declaration commands and dot commands.

    06-10-06  A bug in which pipefail was not detecting some failures in
    	  pipelines with 3 or more states has been fixed.
    06-10-03  A bug in the processing of >(...) with builtins which could
    	  cause the builtin to hang has been fixed.
    06-10-03  A bug in the for loop optimizer which causes >(...) process
    	  substitution to be ignored has been fixed.
    06-09-17  The -a option was added to typeset for indexed arrays.  This
    	  is only needed when using the ([subscript]=value ...) form.
    06-09-06  The showme option was added.  Each simple command not beginning
    	  with a redirection and not occurring with in the while, until, if,
    	  select condition can be preceded by a semi-colon which will
    	  be ignored when showme is off.  When showme is on, any command
    	  preceded by a colon will be traced but not executed.
    06-08-16  As a new feature, a leading ~(N) on a pattern has no effect
    	  except when used for file expansion.  In this case if not
    	  matches are found, the pattern is replaced by nothing rather
    	  than itself.
    06-08-11  A bug in the expansion of ${.sh.match[i]:${#.shmatch[i]}} has
    	  been fixed.
    06-08-10  The read builtin options -n and -N have been modified to treat
              the size as characters rather than bytes unless storing into a
    	  binary (typeset -B) variable.
    06-07-27  When the here document operator << is followed directly by a #
    	  rather than a -, the first line of the here-document determines
    	  how much whitespace is removed for each line.
    06-07-26  A bug in the C-shell history (enabled with set -H) in which the
    	  history event !$ was not processed has been fixed.
    06-07-21  A bug on some systems in which assigning PATH on a command line
    	  would not take effect has been fixed.
    06-07-20  Add ksh93 and rksh93 as allowable names for ksh binaries.
    06-07-20  Removed the SHOPT_OO compilation option which was only partially
    	  implemented.
    06-07-20  The ability to use egrep, grep, and fgrep expressions within
    	  shell patterns has been documented.
    06-07-17  A bug with arithmetic command expressions for locales in which
    	  the comma is a thousands separator has been fixed.

    06-06-23  A number of bug fixes for command, file, and variable completion
    	  have been mode.
    06-06-20  Floating point division by zero now yields the constant Inf or -Inf
    	  and floating functions with invalid arguments yield NaN.
    06-06-20  The floating point constants Inf and NaN can be used in arithmetic
    	  expressions.
    06-06-20  The functions isinf(), isnan(), tanhl() have been added for
    	  arithmetic expressions.
    06-06-13  Internal change to use ordering for variables instead of hashing
    	  to speed up prefix matching.
    06-06-13  A window between fork/exec in which a signal could get lost
    	  and cause a program to hang has been eliminated
    06-06-13  A bug in edit completion with quoted strings has been fixed.
    06-06-07  The restricted options can now be enabled by set as well as on
    	  the command line.  Once set, it can not be disabled.
    06-06-04  Modified built-in binding so that for systems for which /bin
              and /usr/bin are the same, a builtin bound to /bin will get
    	  selected when either /bin or /usr/bin is scanned.
    06-06-04  Added literal-next character processing for emacs/gmacs mode.
    	  This change is not compatible with earlier versions of ksh93
              and ksh88 when the stty lnext is control-v.  The sequence
    	  escape-control-v will display the shell version.
    06-05-31  Modified emacs and vi mode so that entering a TAB after a partial
    	  TAB completion, generates a listing of possible completions.
    	  After the second TAB, a number followed by a TAB will perform
    	  the completion with the corresponding item.
    06-05-19  Modified arithmetic so that conversions to strings default to
    	  the maximum number of precision digits.
    06-05-16  Bug fixes for multibyte locales.
    06-05-10  The =~ operator was added to [[...]] and  [[ string ~= ERE ]]
    	  is equivalent to [[ string == ~(E)ERE ]].
    06-04-25  A bug in the vi edit mode which could cause the shell to core dump
    	  when switching from emacs mode.
    06-04-17  A bug in which using LANG or LC_ in assignment lists with builtins
    	  did not restore the localed correctly has been fixed.
    06-04-04  A bug in which discipline functions could not be added to variables
    	  whose names started with .sh has been fixed.
    06-03-28  The -s option to typeset was added to modify -i to indicate short
    	  integers.
    06-03-28  A bug in which variables assignment lists before functions
    	  defined with function name were not passed on the functions
    	  invoked by this function has been fixed.
    06-03-28  A bug in which name references defined within a function defined
    	  with function  name could not be used with compound variables has
    	  been fixed.
    06-03-27  A bug in which read <&p (print >&p) would cause the coprocess input
    	  (output) pipe to close before reading from (after writing to)
              it has been fixed.
    06-02-28  A bug in which stopping a job created with the hist builtin command
    	  would create a job that could not be restarted has been fixed.

    06-01-24  --- Release ksh93r  ---
    06-01-24  A bug in which running commands with standard output closed would
    	  not work as expected has been fixed.
    06-01-23  A bug in which print -u<n> could fail when file descriptor <n> was
    	  open for writing has been fixed.
    06-01-19  The ?: arithmetic operator fixed to work when the operation after
    	  the colon was an assignment.
    05-12-24  A bug which could lead to a core dump when elements of a compound
    	  variable were array elements, i.e. foo=(bar=(1 2)), has been fixed.
    05-12-13  An arithmetic bug in which x+=y+=z was not working has been fixed.
    05-12-13  An arithmetic bug in which x||y was returning x when x was non-zero
    	  rather than 1 has been fixed.
    05-12-07  The aliases for integer and float have been changed to use attributes
    	  -li and -lE to handle long long and long double types.
    05-12-07  The histexpand (-H) option has been added which allows C-shell
    	  style history expansions using the history character !.
    05-12-07  The multiline option was added which changes that way the edit
    	  modes handle lines longer than the window width.  Instead of
    	  horizontal scrolling, multiple lines on the screen are used.
    05-12-05  The whence builtin now returns an absolute pathname when the
              command is found in the current directory.
    05-11-29  A bug which caused ksh -c '[[ ! ((' to core dump rather than
    	  report a syntax error has been fixed.
    05-11-29  A bug when reading fixed length records into typeset -b variables
    	  which caused a zero byte to terminate the value has been fixed.
    05-11-22  The ability to seek to an offset within a file has been added
    	  with the new I/O redirection operators, <#  and >#.  Currently,
    	  these redirection operators must be followed by ((expr))
    	  but in a future release, it should be able to used to seek forward
    	  to the specified shell pattern.  In addition $(n<#) expands to the
    	  current byte offset for file descriptor n.
    05-11-22  The .sh.match array variable is now set after each [[ ... ]]
    	  pattern match.  Previously it was only set for substring matches.
    05-10-17  A bug in which the library path variable could be prefixed
              with a directory when a .path file was not encountered in
    	  the directory of the executable has been fixed.
    05-09-15  A for/while loop optimizer bug in which $OPTIND was not
    	  correctly expanded has been fixed.
    05-09-05  A bug in which a history command that invoked a history
    	  command could go into an infinite loop has been fixed.
    05-08-31  In the case that IFS contains to adjacent new-lines so that
    	  new-line is not treated as a space delimiter, only a single
    	  new-line is deleted at the end of a command substitution.
    05-08-19  When a tilde substitution expands to the / directory and is
    	  followed by a /, it is replaced by the empty string.
    05-08-16  A bug in which n<&m did not synchronize m has been fixed.
    05-08-16  A bug in which process substitution  ( <() and >() ) was not
    	  working within for and while loops has been fixed.
    05-07-24  A bug in which the pattern ~(E)(foo|bar) was treated as a syntax
    	  error has been fixed.
    05-07-24  A bug in completion with <n>=, where n was the one of the
    	  previous selection choices has been fixed.
    05-07-21  A bug with multibyte input when no edit mode was specified which
    	  caused the input line to shift left/right has been fixed.
    05-06-24  A race condition which could cause the exit status to get lost
    	  on some fast systems has been fixed.
    05-06-21  A bug in which nested patterns of the form {m,n}(pat) would cause
    	  syntax errors has been fixed.
    05-06-21  A bug in the macro expander has been fixed which could cause a
              syntax error for an expansion of the form ${x-$(...)} when
    	  x is set and the command substitution contained certain strings.
    05-06-08  On systems for which echo does not do System V style  expansions,
    	  the -e option was added to enable these expansion.
    05-06-08  A bug in which ${var op pattern} to not work when inside an
    	  arithmetic expression has been fixed.
    05-05-23  An extension to shell patterns that allows matching of nested
    	  groups while skipping over quoted strings has been added.
    05-05-18  A bug in which the line number for errors was not correct for
              functions loaded from FPATH has been fixed.
    05-04-18  A bug in which the exit status $? is not set when a trap triggered
    	  by the [[...]] command is executed has been fixed.
    05-04-08  Redirection operators can be directly preceded with {varname}
    	  with no intervening space, where varname is a variable name which
    	  allows the shell to select a file descriptor > 10 and store it
    	  into varname.
    05-04-08  SHOPT_CMDLIB_BLTIN=1 now includes <cmdlist.h> generated table.
    05-04-07  [[ -o ?option ]] is true if "option" is a supported option.
    05-04-05  A bug in handling file completion with spaces in the names
              has been fixed.
    05-03-25  The SIGWINCH signal is caught by default to keeps the LINES and
    	  COLUMNS variables in sync with the actual window size.
    05-03-25  Building ksh with SHOPT_REMOTE=1 causes ksh to set --rc if stdin is
    	  a socket (presumably part of a remote shell invocation.)
    05-03-25  Building ksh with SHOPT_SYSRC=1 causes interactive ksh to source
    	  /etc/ksh.kshrc (if it exists) before sourcing the $ENV file.
    05-03-25  {first..last[..incr][%fmt]} sequences added to brace expansions
    	  when braceexpand is enabled.
    05-03-03  A bug where a SIGCHLD interrupt could cause a fifo open to fail has
    	  been fixed.
    05-02-25  A bug in which a builtin command run in the background could
    	  keep a file descriptor open which could cause a foreground
    	  process to hang has been fixed.
    05-02-24  A bug where builtin library commands (e.g., date and TZ) failed to
    	  detect environment variable changes has been fixed.
    05-02-22  The read builtin and word splitting are now consistent with respect
    	  to IFS -- both treat IFS as field delimiters.
    05-02-22  The read builtin no longer strips off trailing delimiters that
    	  are not space characters when there are fewer variables than fields.
    05-02-17  A builtin bug on systems where dlsym(libcmd) returns link-time
    	  bindings has been fixed.
    05-02-12  A bug in which the lib_init() function for .paths BUILTIN_LIB
    	  libraries was not called has been fixed.
    05-02-06  A bug on some systems in which moving the write end of a co-process
    	  to a numbered file descriptor could cause it to close has been fixed.
    05-02-06  A bug in the vi-edit mode in which the character under the cursor
    	  was not deleted in some cases with the d% directive has been fixed.
    05-02-06  A bug where external builtin stdout/stderr redirection corrupted
              stdout has been fixed.
    05-02-04  A bug where times formatting assumed CLK_TCK==60 has been fixed.

    05-01-11  --- Release ksh93q  ---
    05-01-11  A bug in the integral divide by zero check has been fixed.
    05-01-11  The -l option has been added to read /etc/profile and
    	  $HOME/.profile, if they exist, before the first command.
    05-01-11  An argument parsing bug that caused `kill -s x -- n' to fail has
    	  been fixed.
    05-01-11  The .paths file, introduced in ksh93m, which can appear in
    	  any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form 'BUILTIN_LIB=.'
    	  When a command is searched for this directory, and the full path
    	  matches the path of the built-in version of the command (listed
    	  by the 'builtin' command) then the built-in version of the command
    	  is used.  When ksh is built with SHOPT_CMDLIB_DIR=1 then all libcmd
    	  functions become builtins with the '/opt/ast/bin/' directory prefix.
    05-01-10  A bug in which a nameref to a compound name caused a core dump has
    	  been fixed.
    05-01-09  A bug in which some SIGCHLD interrupts (from child processes exiting)
    	  caused a fatal print/echo error diagnostic has been fixed.
    04-12-24  A bug in which some SIGCHLD interrupts (from child processes exiting)
              corrupted the internal process/job list, sometimes causing the shell
    	  to hang, has been fixed.
    04-12-01  A bug in which typeset -Fn truncated less than n digits for large
    	  numbers has been fixed.
    04-11-25  A bug in which standard error could be closed after a redirection
    	  to /dev/stderr has been fixed.
    04-11-17  A bug in which an expansion of the form ${array[@]:3} could expand
              to ${array[0]} when ${array[3]} was not set has been fixed.
    04-10-22  The -E or -orc command line option reads ${ENV-$HOME/.kshrc} file.
    04-10-22  `-o foo' equivalent to `+o nofoo', `-o nobar' equivalent to `+o bar'.
              `--foo' equivalent to `-o foo', `--nofoo' equivalent to `+o foo'
    04-10-05  The .paths file, introduced in ksh93m, which can appear in
    	  any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form
    	  'BUILTIN_LIB=libname'.  When a command is searched for this directory,
    	  the shared library named by libname will first be searched for a
    	  built-in version of the command.
    04-09-03  <<< here documents now handle quotes in the word token correctly.
    04-08-08  The maximum size for read -n and and read -N was increased from
    	  4095 to 32M.
    04-08-04  printf %q was modified so that if an no operand was supplied, no
    	  no output would be generated rather than a quoted empty string.
    04-08-01  The -n and -N options of the read builtin has been modified
    	  when reading variables with the binary attribute so that the
    	  data is stored directly rather than through assignment.
    04-08-01  The shcomp command has been modified to process alias commands
    	  under some conditions.
    04-07-31  The .sh.match variable added in ksh93l, now works like other
    	  indexed arrays.
    04-07-08  A loop optimizer bug which occurs when typeset is used in
    	  a for or while loop inside a function has been fixed.
    04-06-24  The number of subexpressions in a pattern was increased to 64
    	  from the current number of 20.
    04-06-17  The -t option to read was modified to allow seconds to be
    	  specified as any arithmetic expression rather than just
    	  an integral number of seconds, for example even -t 'sin(.5)'
    	  is now valid.
    04-06-16  Two small memory leak problems were fixed.
    04-06-15  A bug in ${var/pattern/"string"} which occurred when string
    	  contained pattern matching characters has been fixed.
    04-05-08  printf $'%d produced an erroneous error message and has
    	  been fixed.
    04-05-24  A bug in which an associative array without any elements could
    	  cause a core dump when a script with an associative array with
    	  the same name was declared in a script invoked by name has
    	  been fixed.
    04-05-11  A bug in which an exec statement could close the script that
    	  is being processed in a script that is run by name causing
    	  a failure has been fixed.
    04-04-28  If the first character of assignment to an integer variable was 0,
              the variable had been treated as unsigned.  This behavior was
              undocumented and has been removed.
    04-04-05  A bug in which the positioning of standard input could be incorrect
    	  after reading from standard input from a subshell has been fixed.
    04-03-30  A bug in the for loop optimizer which in rare cases could cause
    	  memory corruption has been fixed.
    04-03-29  The preset alias source='command .' has been added.
    04-03-29  A bug introduced in ksh93p on some systems in which invoked by
    	  name with #! on the first line would not get the signals handling
    	  initialized correctly has been fixed.
    04-03-29  A bug introduced in ksh93p in which a HUP signal received by
    	  a shell that is a session group leader was not passed down to
    	  its children has been fixed.

    04-02-28  --- Release ksh93p  ---
    04-02-28  The ability to apply an append discipline to any variable has
    	  been added.
    04-02-14  A bug in which the exportall option (set -a) would cause incorrect
    	  results for arrays has been fixed.
    04-02-02  A bug in which an exported array would pass more than
    	  the first element to a script invoked by name has been fixed.
    04-02-02  A bug on some systems in which name=value pairs preceding a script
    	  invoked by name was not getting passed to the script has been fixed.
    04-01-20  A bug in which an unset discipline function could cause a core
    	  dump on some systems has been fixed.
    04-01-12  A bug in which a continue or break called outside a loop from
    	  inside a function defined with name() syntax could affect
    	  the invoking function has been fixed.
    04-01-08  If a command name begins with ~, only filename completion will be
    	  attempted rather than pathname completion using the builtin editors.
    04-01-08  A bug in the vi edit mode in which the wrong repeat count on
    	  multiple word replacements with the . directive has been fixed.
    04-01-06  Backspace characters are now handled correctly in prompt strings.
    04-01-06  The getopts builtin has been modified to accept numerical
    	  arguments of size long long on systems that support this.
    04-01-06  A bug in which unsetting all elements of an associative array
    	  would cause it to be treated as an indexed array has been fixed.
    03-12-15  A bug in which a quoted string ending with an unescaped $ would
    	  delete the ending $ in certain cases has been fixed.
    03-12-05  A bug in which the shell could hang when set -x tracing a command
    	  when an invalid multibyte character is encountered has been fixed.
    03-12-05  On some systems, if the KEYBD trap is set, then commands that use
    	  the meta key were not processed until return was hit.  This
    	  has been fixed.
    03-12-05  A problem which occurred when the login shell was not a group
    	  leader that could cause it to fail has been fixed.

    	  that should cause it to terminate while it was in the process
    	  of acquiring more space has been fixed.
    03-12-05  If ENV is not specified, the shell will default to $HOME/.kshrc
    	  for interactive shells.
    03-11-21  A bug introduced in ksh93o in which the DEBUG trap could get
    	  disabled after it triggered has been fixed.
    03-11-04  A bug in which using arithmetic prefix operators ++ or -- on a
    	  non-lvalue could cause a core dump has been fixed.
    03-11-04  A bug in which leading zeros were stripped from variable
    	  expansions within arithmetic computation to avoid being treated
    	  as octal constants when they should not have, has been fixed.
    03-10-08  A bug introduced in ksh93o in which a large here document inside
    	  a function definition could get corrupted has been fixed.
    03-09-22  A bug in which the .get discipline function was not being
    	  called when a string variable was implicitly referenced from
    	  within a numerical expression has been fixed.
    03-09-22  A bug in which a script without a leading #! could get executed
    	  by /bin/sh rather than the current shell on some systems has
    	  been fixed.
    03-09-12  To improve conformance with ksh88, leading zeros will be ignored
    	  when getting the numerical value of a string variable so that
    	  they will not be treated as octal constants.
    03-09-03  The builtin kill command now processes obsolete invocations
    	  such as kill -1 -pid.
    03-09-02  The restriction on modifying FPATH in a restricted shell (sh -r)
    	  has been documented.
    03-09-02  The restricted shell (sh -r) has been modified to disallow

    03-08-01  A bug in which "${foo#pattern}(x)" treated (x) as if it were
    	  part of the pattern has been fixed.
    03-08-01  The command -x option has been modified so that any trailing
    	  arguments that do expand to a single word will be included
    	  on each invocation, so that commands like command -x mv * dir

    	  was unset has been fixed.
    03-06-22  The -x option was added to the command builtin.  If this
    	  option is on, and the number of arguments would exceed ARG_MAX,
    	  the command will be invoked multiple times with a subset of
    	  the arguments.  For example, with alias grep='command -x grep,
    	  any number of arguments can be specified.
    03-06-14  A bug in which could cause a core dump on some systems with
    	  vi and emacs editors with the MULTIBYTE option has been fixed.
    03-06-06  A bug in which the shell could core dump when a script was

    	  that it is unaware of terminates while it is calling malloc()
    	  has been fixed.
    03-06-02  An option named globstar (set -G) has been added.  When enabled,
    	  during pathname expansion, any component that consists only of ** is
    	  matches all files and any number of directory levels.
    03-05-30  A bug in which the PATH search could give incorrect results when
    	  run from directory foo and PATH contained .:foo:xxx has been fixed.
    03-05-29  Some changes were made to the code that displays the prompt in edit
    	  mode to better handle escape sequences in the prompt.
    03-05-27  I added = to the list of characters that mark the beginning of
    	  a word for edit completion so that filenames in assignments
    	  can be completed.
    03-05-20  A bug in which read -N could hang on some systems when reading
    	  from a terminal or a pipe has been fixed.
    03-05-19  A bug in which the output of uname from a command substitution
    	  would go to the standard output of the invoking command when
    	  uname was invoked with a non-standard option has been fixed.
    03-05-19  A job control bug which would cause the shell to exit because
    	  it hadn't take back the terminal has been fixed.  The bug
    	  could occur when running a function that contained a pipeline
    	  whose last element was a function.
    03-05-19  A job control timing bug introduced in ksh93o on some systems
    	  which could cause a pipeline to hang if the first component
    	  completed quickly has been fixed.
    03-05-13  The read builtin has been modified so that the builtin editors
    	  will not overwrite output from a previous incomplete line.
    03-05-13  A bug in which the name of an identifier could have the string
    	  .sh. prefixed to it after expanding a variable whose name begins
    	  with .sh. has been fixed.
    03-05-13  A bug in the expansion of $var for compound variables in which
    	  some elements would not be output when the name was a prefix
    	  of another name in the compound variable has been fixed.
    03-05-08  The last item in the ksh93o release on 03-01-02 has been
    	  altered slightly to preserve the leading 0's when the
    	  preceding character is a digit.  Thus, with typeset -LZ3 x=10,
    	  $(( 1$x)) will be 1010 whereas $(( $x) will be 10.
    03-04-25  A bug in which if x is a name reference, then nameref y=x.foo
    	  did not follow x has been fixed.

    03-03-18  --- Release ksh93o  ---
    03-03-18  A -N unary operator was added to test and [[...]] which returns
    	  true if the file exists and the file has been modified since it
    	  was last read.
    03-03-18  The TIMEFORMAT variable was added to control the format for
    	  the time compound command.  The formatting description is
    	  described in the man page.
    03-03-06  A -N n option was added to read which causes exactly n bytes
    	  to be read unlike -n n which causes at most n bytes to be read.
    03-03-03  Three new shell variables were added.  The variable .sh.file
    	  stores the full pathname of the file that the current command
    	  was found in.  The variable .sh.fun names the current function
    	  that is running.  The variable .sh.subshell contains the depth
    	  of the current subshell or command substitution.
    03-03-03  When the DEBUG trap is executed, the current command line after
    	  expansions is placed in the variable .sh.command.  The trap
    	  is also now triggered before each iteration of a for, select,
    	  and case command and before each assignment and redirection.
    03-02-28  Function definitions are no longer stored in the history file so
    	  that set -o nolog no longer has any meaning.
    03-02-28  All function definitions can be displayed with typeset -f not
    	  just those stored in the history file.  In addition, typeset +f
    	  displays the function name followed by a comment containing the
    	  line number and the path name for the file that defined this function.
    03-02-28  A bug in which the value of $LINENO was not correct when executing
    	  command contained inside mult-line command substitutions has been
    	  fixed.
    03-02-19  Since some existing ksh88 scripts use the undocumented and
    	  unintended ability to insert a : in front of the % and # parameter
    	  expansion operators, ksh93 was modified to accept :% as equivalent
    	  to % and :# as equivalent to # with ${name op word}.
    03-02-14  A bug which could cause a core dump when reading from standard
    	  error when standard error was a pty has been fixed.
    03-02-14  The shell arithmetic was modified to use long double on systems
    	  that provide this data type.
    03-02-09  A bug in which a function located in the first directory in FPATH
    	  would not be found when the last component of PATH was . and the
    	  current directory was one of the directories in PATH has been fixed.
    03-02-07  The trap and kill builtin commands now accept a leading SIG prefix
    	  on the signal names as documented.
    03-02-05  A bug in the expansion of ${var/$pattern}, when pattern contained
    	  \[ has been fixed.
    03-02-05  A bug in which .sh.match[n], n>0, was not being set for substring
    	  matches with % and %% has been fixed.
    03-01-15  A bug in which getopts did not work for numerical arguments specified
    	  as n#var in the getopts string has been fixed.
    03-01-09  A bug in which using ${.sh.match} multiple times could lead to
    	  a memory exception has been fixed.
    03-01-06  A bug in the expansion of ${var/pattern/$string} in the case that
    	  $string contains \digit has been fixed.
    03-01-02  A -P option was added for systems such as Solaris 8 that support
    	  profile shell.
    03-01-02  For backward compatibility with ksh88, arithmetic expansion
    	  with ((...)) and let has been modified so that if x is a zero-filled
    	  variable, $x will not be treated as an octal constant.

    02-12-05  --- Release ksh93n+  ---
    02-11-30  A bug that can show up in evaluating arithmetic statements that
    	  are in an autoloaded function when the function is autoload from
    	  another function has been fixed.
    02-11-30  An optimization bug in which an expansion of the form ${!name.@},
    	  which occurred inside a for or a while loop, when name is a name
    	  reference, has been fixed.
    02-11-18  A bug in which modifying array variables in a subshell could leave
    	  side effects in the parent shell environment has been fixed.
    02-11-18  A memory leak when unsetting an associative array has been fixed.
    02-11-14  The code to display compound objects was rewritten to make
    	  it easier for runtime extensions to reuse this code.
    02-11-14  A change was made to allow runtime builtins to be notified when
    	  a signal is received so that cleanup can be performed.
    02-10-31  User applications can now trap the ALRM signal.  Previously,
    	  the ALRM signal was used internally and could not be used
    	  by applications.
    02-10-31  A bug in which signals received while reading from a coprocess
    	  for which traps were set was not handled correctly has been fixed.
    02-10-31  A bug in which a file opened with exec inside a subshell could
    	  be closed before the subshell completed has been fixed.
    02-10-21  A bug in which setting PATH or FPATH inside a function might not
    	  take effect has been fixed.
    02-10-21  A bug which could cause a core dump when a local SECONDS variable
    	  is defined in a function has been fixed.
    02-10-15  A bug in which the associate array name operator ${!array[@]}
    	  could return the same name multiple times has been fixed.

    	  not getting set when an assignment was made without a subscript
    	  specified has been fixed.

    02-09-30  --- Release ksh93n  ---
    02-09-30  The maximum indexed array size was increased to 16Megs.

    	  3 and 9 could cause a subsequent here document to fail has been
    	  fixed.
    02-09-09  A bug in which a background job was not removed from the job list
    	  when a subshell completed has been fixed, for example (prog&).

    	  could be interpretted as an array assignment rather than a
    	  compound variable assignment has been fixed.
    02-08-19  A command completion bug which occurred on file systems that
    	  are case insensitive has been fixed.

    	  echoing of characters by ksh when emacs or viraw mode
    	  was enabled has been fixed.
    02-06-17  A bug in which background job completion could cause the sleep
    	  builtin to terminate prematurely has been fixed.

    02-06-05  A bug in read in which share mode could be enabled has been fixed.
    02-05-28  A bug which could occur when the last command of a script was

    	  same word has been fixed.
    02-01-07  A compilation option, CMDLIB_BLTIN in the file OPTION, has
    	  been added.  When this options is set, all commands implemented
    	  in libcmd become shell builtin commands by default.
    02-01-07  A bug in which builtin foo, where foo is already a builtin
    	  would result in the builtin foo getting removed has been fixed.

    	  directory has been modified.  With the new method, only the
    	  library path defined in the file named .paths in the directory
    	  where the executable is found will be modified.  See the
    	  man page for more details.
    01-09-23  The .fpath file (see ksh93h) is no longer looked for in each

    	  inside a here document has been fixed.
    01-07-26  To conform to the POSIX standard, if you invoked ksh name,
    	  and name does not contain a /,  it will first try to run
    	  one in the current directory whether it is executable or not
    	  before doing a path search for an executable script.  Earlier
    	  versions first checked for an executable script using the
    	  PATH variable.
    01-07-23  A bug in which unset -f invoked in a subshell could unset a
    	  function defined in the parent has been fixed.

    01-05-20  Patterns of the form {n}(pattern) and {m,n}(pattern) are now
    	  recognized.  The first form matches exactly n of pattern whereas,
    	  the second form matches from m to n instances of pattern.
    01-05-20  The shell allows *-(pattern), +-(pattern),  ?-(pattern),
    	  {m,n}-(pattern}, and @-(pattern) to cause the minimal
    	  match of pattern to be selected whenever possible rather
    	  than the maximal (greedy) match.
    01-05-20  The character class [:word:] has been added to patterns.
    	  The word class is the union of [:alnum:] and the character _.
    01-05-20  Inside (...) pattern groups, the  character is now treated
    	  specially even when in an enclosing character class.  The
    	  sequences, \w, \d, \s are equivalent to the character classes
    	  word, digit, and space respectively.  The sequences \W, \D,
    	  and \S are their complement sets.
    01-05-20  The shell now recognizes pattern groups of the form
    	  ~(options:pattern) where options or :pattern can be omitted.
    	  Options use the letters + and - to enable and disable options
    	  respectively.  The option letters g (greedy), i (ignore case)
    	  are used to cause maximal matching and to cause case
    	  insensitive matching respectively.  If :pattern is also
    	  specified, these options are only in effect while this
    	  pattern is being processed.  Otherwise, these options remain
    	  in effect until the end of the pattern group that they are contained
    	  in or until another ~(...) is encountered.  These pattern groups
    	  are not counted with respect to group numbering.
    01-05-14  When edit completion, expansion, or listing occurs in the
    	  middle of a quoted string, the leading quote is ignored when
    	  performing the completion, expansion, or listing.
    01-05-14  A small memory leak from subshells has been fixed.
    01-05-10  A bug in which open files were not restored after a subshell
    	  that had used exec to replace a file has been fixed.
    01-05-10  Redirection to a null file name now generates an error message.
    01-05-09  The shell now rejects some invalid parameter substitutions that
    	  were previously processed in undefined ways.
    01-05-09  A bug in which the output of select was not flushed before the
    	  read when input did not come from the terminal has been fixed.
    01-05-08  A bug in which job ids would not be freed for interactive shells
    	  when subshells ran built-ins in the background has been fixed.
    01-05-08  The FPATH variable now requires an explicit . to cause the
    	  current directory to be treated as a function directory.
    01-05-08  A bug in read -n when echo mode was disabled has been fixed.
    01-05-07  A bug in which function definitions could be listed as part
    	  of the history has been fixed.
    01-04-30  This release uses a new and often much faster pattern matcher than
    	  earlier releases.
    01-04-30  An optimizer now eliminates invariant parameter expansions from
    	  for while and until loops.
    01-04-30  The variable .sh.match is set after each pattern match (# % or /)
    	  in a variable substitution.  The variable .sh.match is an
    	  indexed array with element 0 being the complete match.
    	  The array is only valid until the next subsequent pattern
    	  match or until the value of the variable changes which ever
    	  comes first.
    01-04-30  A self generating man page has been added to shcomp.  Also,
    	  shcomp now stops compiling when it finds an exit or exec
    	  command and copies the remainder so that it can be used
    	  for standard input.
    01-04-30  The shcomp command was modified so that it can work in an
    	  EBCIDIC environment and that binary scripts are portable
    	  across environments.
    01-04-30  A bug in the handling of a trailing : in PATH has been fixed.
    01-04-30  A bug in which the builtin version of a command would get invoked
    	  even though the full pathname for the command was specified
    	  has been fixed.
    01-04-30  A bug in which read would loose the last character when
    	  reading the last line of a file that did not contain a new-line
    	  character has been fixed.
    01-04-23  A bug on some systems in which in vi mode the end of file
    	  character and end of line character could be swapped has
    	  been fixed.
    01-04-23  A bug on some systems in which invoking a shell script that
    	  did not have execute permission could set the exit value to
    	  127 rather than 126 has been fixed.
    01-04-20  A bug in which read -n from a pipe would block if fewer than
    	  n characters was received has been fixed.
    01-04-09  A bug in which invalid patterns, for example, ) by itself,
    	  was not treated as a string has been fixed so that if i=')',
    	  then [[ $i == $i ]] is true.
    01-04-09  The shell arithmetic now interprets C character constants.
    01-04-09  A bug in which a non-zero return from a function defined
    	  with the function reserved word did not trigger the ERR
    	  trap or exit with set -e has been fixed.
    01-04-02  A bug on some systems, in which characters above 127 were
    	  not displayed correctly in vi or emacs edit mode has been fixed.
    01-04-02  A bug on some systems, introduced in the 'k' point release, in
    	  which the erase character in viraw mode was moving the cursor
    	  to the left without erasing the character has been fixed.
    01-04-02  On some systems the wcwith() function was returning a wrong
    	  value for characters and caused characters to be displayed
    	  incorrectly from the shell edit modes.  A work around for
    	  this problem has been added.
    01-03-26  A bug in which valid scripts could produce syntax errors
    	  when run with locales that considered characters such as "'"
    	  to be space characters has been fixed.
    01-03-20  A bug in which an syntax error in an arithmetic expression
    	  entered interactively could cause the shell to go into
    	  an infinite loop outputting the error message has been fixed.
    01-03-10  ksh93 accepts -l as a synonym for -L in test on systems for
    	  which /bin/test -l tests for symbolic links.
    01-03-10  A bug in parsing scripts in which { and } are used in place of
    	  in and esac in case statements embedded in compound commands
    	  has been fixed.  Use of { and } for in and esac is obsolete.
    01-03-06  A bug in which an argument of the form foo=bar was not
    	  being passed correctly to a traced function whose name
    	  was foo has been fixed.
    01-03-02  Using $(trap -p name) did not print the name of the current
    	  trap setting for trap name.
    01-02-26  Exported floating point variables gave incorrect results
    	  when passing them to ksh88.  This has been fixed.
    01-02-25  A race condition in which a coprocess which completed too quickly
    	  would not allow subsequent coprocesses to start has been fixed.
    01-02-25  The 'g' format specifier is now handled by printf.  It had
    	  inadvertently been omitted.
    01-02-20  The + was not being displayed during an execution trace
    	  with the += assignment operator.
    01-02-19  The error message which occurs when the interpreter name
    	  defined on the #! line does not exist is more informative.
    01-02-19  A bug in which $0 would not be set correctly when a
    	  script with #! was invoked by full pathname from the
    	  directory of the script has been fixed.
    01-02-19  A shell script did not always pick up tty mode changes
    	  made by external commands such as stty which could
    	  effect the behavior of read.
    01-02-19  The -u, -g, and -k unary tests did not give the correct
    	  results when used with negation and this has been fixed.

    01-02-05  --- Release ksh93k+  ---
    01-02-05  The sequence \<newline> inside $'...' was not incrementing
    	  the line count and this has been fixed.

    	  it results in null string rather than nothing.
    01-02-02  memory leak problem with local variables in functions fixed.
    01-01-25  allow arithmetic expressions with float%int and treat them
    	  as ((int)float)%int rather than as an error.
    01-01-19  read -n1 was not working and has been fixed.
    01-01-17  ksh now handles the case in which a here document in command
    	  substitution $() is terminated by the trailing ).  Previously,
    	  a new-line was needed at the end of the delimiter word.
    01-01-02  A bug in which a KEYBD trap would cause a multi-line token
    	  to be processed incorrectly has been fixed.
    00-12-10  Arithmetic integer constants can now have L and U suffices.
    00-12-10  A bug in the processing of arithmetic expressions with compound
    	  variables when the -n option is on has been fixed.
    00-12-08  A bug in M-f and M-b from emacs mode has been fixed.  This
    	  bug only occurs when ksh93 is compiled without MULTIBYTE enabled.
    00-11-29  A bug in which jobs -p would yield 0 for background
    	  jobs run in a script has been fixed.
    00-11-21  A bug in integer arrays in which the number of elements is
    	  incorrect when the ++ operator is applied to a non-existing
    	  element has been fixed.  For example, integer x; ((x[3]++)).
    00-11-20  A timing bug in which the shell could reset the terminal

    	  In other case a tab is inserted.
    00-10-27  A bug in the emacs edit mode for ^X^E has been fixed.
    	  The ^X^E sequence is supposed to invoke the full editor
    	  on the current command.

    	  has been fixed.
    00-08-08  Removed build dependency on iswprint() and iswalph().
    00-07-20  In some cases the read builtin would read more than a single
    	  line from a pipe on standard input and therefore leave the seek
    	  position in the wrong location.
    00-07-05  If the directory / is on the path, a / will not be inserted
    	  between the directory and the file name during path searching
    	  to avoid searching // for systems that treat this specially.
    00-06-26  A bug in which on rare occasions wait could return before all

    00-04-17  Modified printf to handle '%..Xc' and '%..Xs' options where X
    	  is not an alpha character.  Previous versions core dumped with this.

    	  been fixed.
    00-03-27  A bug in which the library path variable was not updated
    	  correctly on some systems as described in the 'g' point
    	  release has been fixed.
    00-03-07  printf now returns a non-zero exit status when one of
              its arguments cannot be converted to the given type.
    00-03-05  The return value and error message for a command that
              was found on the path but was not executable was set
              incorrectly.
    00-03-05  A prototype for ioctl() was removed from the vi edit mode.

    00-01-28  --- Release ksh93i  ---
    00-01-28  Most of the built-in commands and ksh itself are now

              man page in html format.
    00-01-28  The getopts builtin can process command description
              strings to produce man pages.

              has been fixed.
    00-01-28  When a symbolic link was specified as the name of

              in some cases and this has been fixed.
    00-01-28  A bug in which the precision given as an argument
    	  to printf was not working has been fixed.

    99-03-31  --- Release ksh93h  ---
    99-03-31  The PATH search algorithm has been modified to look
    	  for a file named .fpath in each bin directory and if
    	  found, to search for functions in this directory if
    	  it cannot find the command in that directory.
    99-03-31  When performing pathname expansion, the shell checks
    	  to see whether each directory it reads is case sensitive
    	  or not, and performs the matching accordingly.
    99-03-31  The %T format for printing formatted date/time.
    99-03-31  The emacs and vi modes now handle arrow keys when
              they use standard ANSI escape sequences.

    	  all complete successfully.
    98-04-30  The name-value pair library uses the cdt library rather
    	  than the hash library.  This change should be transparent
    	  to applications.
    98-04-30  On the U/WIN version for Window 95 and Windows NT,
              when a directory beginning with a letter followed by
              a colon is given to cd, it is assumed to be an absolute
              directory
    98-04-30  When an executable is found on a given path,
    	  the appropriate library path variable is prepended
    	  with a corresponding library directory.

    	  correctly inside {...} when brace expansion is enabled
    	  has been fixed, for example {\$foo}.
    98-04-30  A bug in line continuation in here-documents has been
    	  fixed.
    98-04-30  The default base when not specified with typeset -i is
    	  10 in accordance with the documentation.  Previously,
    	  the value was determined by the first assignment.

    	  is an argument list for the invoked discipline function
    	  or built-in.
    98-04-30  A callback function can be installed which will give
              notification of file duplications and file closes.

    	  after killing a running coprocess has been fixed.
    97-06-30  ulimit foobar, where foobar is not an arithmetic
    	  expression, now gives an error message as it did with ksh88
    	  instead of setting the file size limit to 0.
    97-06-30  A bug which could cause an interactive shell to terminate when
    	  the last process of a pipeline was a POSIX function was fixed.

    	  now reports that foo isn't found rather than invoking foo.
