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.
                     29: 
                     30:        Eric Gisin, [email protected] (or Waterloo.EDU)
