there's a plain ksh88 in here:
bitsavers/bits/HP/HP_9000/HPUX_9/9.10_S300_Source_Product.cpio.gz
The open sourced Solaris 8 tarball contains ksh88i
I'm sure there's more ;)
But what a shame that the 1985ish ksh got lost.

Hi all, I received an e-mail looking for the ksh-88
source code. A quick
search for it on-line doesn't reveal it. Does anybody have a copy?
Cheers, Warren
Original e-mail:
I recently built a PiDP11 and have been enjoying going back in time
to 2.11BSD.. I was at UC Davis in the the early 1980's and we had
a few PDP-11/70's running 2.8/2.9 BSD. Back then we reached out to
David Korn and he sent us the source for KSH -- this would have been
in 1985ish if I remember, and we compiled it for 2.9 & 4.1BSD, Xenix,
and some other variants that used K&R C. It may have been what was
later called ksh88. I wish I still had the files from then..
I was wondering if you might know if there's an older version like this
or one that's been ported for 2.11BSD?
Many thanks,
Joe
