Package: mksh (33.4-1 and others)

enhanced version of the Korn shell

mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar 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; corresponds to OpenBSD 4.3-beta ksh (minus GNU bash-like $PS1); the build environment requirements are autoconfigured; throughout code simplification/bugfix/enhancement has been done, and the shell has extended compatibility to other modern shells. A sample ~/.mkshrc is included.
