1.1     ! root        1:                Public Domain KornShell
        !             2: 
        !             3:        Quick installation notes for PD KornShell
        !             4: 
        !             5: PD KornShell can be installed on
        !             6: 4.2+ BSD systems, System V, and POSIX-compatable systems.
        !             7: The makefiles all define _BSD, change this to _SYSV, or _POSIX.
        !             8: The makefiles also contain CC=gcc, delete this if you don't have GNU C.
        !             9: The ksh makefile also contains some options,
        !            10: including JOBS (BSD/POSIX job control) and EDIT (emacs command editing).
        !            11: 
        !            12: PD KornShell assumes you have standard C (ANSI) and POSIX header files and functions.
        !            13: Since you probably don't, they are provided in the "std" directory.
        !            14: 
        !            15: The Alpha test version will probably come as two tar files.
        !            16: std.tar contains standard C and POSIX emulation and
        !            17: must be extracted into a directory called std.
        !            18: ksh.tar contains the ksh source and should be extracted
        !            19: into a directory called src or ksh.
        !            20: 
        !            21: See std/ReadMe and install it. Only then can you make ksh in the "src" directory.
        !            22: 
        !            23: To clear up questions about the origin of this shell,
        !            24: this shell is NOT based on the "Minix shell".
        !            25: It is based on Charles Forsyth's public domain V7 shell,
        !            26: which he later contributed to Minix.
        !            27: 
        !            28: I have permission directly from Charles Forsyth to use his shell.
