Summary : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell
Description :
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, being a
bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell.

$PATHSEP test * On ^C (INTR and QUIT edchars), shove edit line into history *
Begin porting to z/OS using EBCDIC encoding, incomplete * Redo fast character
