    I used it back in the day and never found it buggy or unreliable. No doubt as with all mature software where the devs need to justify their continued update of it, a load of mostly useless features were added which they found interesting
    to do and added a load of bugs in the process.

    Thanks! - Compiles like a charm (even in my legacy system environment).


    Here is the seventh ksh 93u+m/1.0 bugfix release. It fixes a hang in
    command substitutions when combined with 'exec' and certain redirections.

    One thing... - is that version number intentional:

    $ ./ksh --version
    version sh (AT&T Research) 93u+m/1.1.0-alpha+49904531 2023-09-15

    No. You compiled ksh from the dev branch. Try the release tarball or the 1.0 branch :)

    The dev branch has started diverging from 1.0 in a few ways and is not ready for production use.

    Oh, okay. - The first link I tried my git didn't like for a clone.

    Okay. (I just tested it cursory, and it seemed to work fine.)

    Thanks again.
