mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely si- milar to the original AT&T Korn shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use. It has UTF-8 support in the emacs command line editing mode; corres- ponds to OpenBSD 4.1-beta ksh (minus GNU bash-like $PS1); the build environment requirements are autoconfigured; throughout code simplification/bugfix/enhancement has been done. A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/mksh/ WWW: http://mirbsd.de/mksh
