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.

Update Information:
Work was done on both Emacs and Vi input line editing modes and on improving
command line history. Stack space usage was reduced and dead code was removed. A
bugfix sync was done with OpenBSD 4.4-current ksh.
