# AST
|
|
|
|
This is the AT&T Software Technology (AST) toolkit from AT&T Research.
|
|
It includes many tools and libraries, like KSH, NMAKE, SFIO, VMALLOC, VCODEX,
|
|
etc. It also includes more efficient replacements for a lot of the POSIX tools.
|
|
It was designed to be portable across many UNIX systems and also works
|
|
under UWIN on Microsoft Windows (see UWIN repo on GitHub under att/uwin).
|
|
|
|
## ksh93u+ and v-
|
|
|
|
This repo contains the **ksh93u+** and **ksh93v-** versions of KSH.
|
|
|
|
* **ksh93u+**, the master branch, was the last version released by the main AST
|
|
authors in 2012, while they were at AT&T. It also has some later build
|
|
fixes but it is not actively maintained.
|
|
* ksh93v-, [ksh93v tag](https://github.com/att/ast/tree/ksh93v), contains
|
|
contributions from the main authors through 2014 (after they left) and is
|
|
considered less stable
|
|
|
|
Please search the web for forks of this repo (or check the
|
|
[Network graph](https://github.com/att/ast/network) on GitHub) if you are
|
|
looking for an actively maintained version of ksh.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
This software is used to build itself, using NMAKE. After cloning this repo, cd
|
|
to the top directory of it and run:
|
|
|
|
./bin/package make
|
|
|
|
Almost all the tools in this package (including the bin/package script are
|
|
self-documenting; run <tool> --man (or --html) for the man page for the tool.
|
|
|
|
(If you were used to the old AST packaging mechanism, on www.research.att.com,
|
|
this repo is equivalent to downloading the INIT and ast-open packages and
|
|
running: ./bin/package read on them).
