Here is a summary of what I found out about Korn shell for Sun. First, a
clarification:
I needed the information for a proposal I'm writing for a system that would
be implemented at some point in the future, and that's why I specified SunOS
4.1.2 in my original posting. I do not have SunOS 4.1.2 now.
Thanks to the people who responded. Here are the possibilities they suggested:
1) Dial in to the AT&T Toolchest to get the source license, for about
$US 3000.00.
908-522-6900
Login as guest with no passwd.
2) Aspen Technologies in NJ, at 201-316-0866. Get binary ksh for Sun for
about $US 200.00.
3) BASH (Bourne-again shell) from GNU. Public domain, supposedly implements
ksh capabilities such as command line editing, ksh variables, ksh history,
csh ! type history.
4) A public domain version of KSH, built under SYSV3.2, and a set of patches
that allow it to be built under SunOS 4.1.

SunOS 5.0 will have ksh. I was just looking for something to use in the
meantime.
