Last month, a posting appeared inquiring as to a possible bug in
the 11/16/88 version of KSH. The following is a copy of email
received from Korn himself on the subject:

Guess that answers the question. Now, since Toolchest tools are
'sposed to be unsupported, does that mean that we have to purchase
the 11/16/88a version 2 months after purchasing the 11/16/88 version ? :-)
