This is the OpenBSD-enhanced version of the original PD-ksh, which in turn is a clone of the original AT&T Korn shell.
This version is based on the porting work of Jason Wright and Marco Peereboom, and, as of 01/08/2006, has everything the OpenBSD CVS version has.

The binary packages are provided as a convenience, and may or may not work with your particular setup. They only depend on the appropriate version of libc. If you are unsure, build the thing from sources.
The binary packages do not employ any kind of alternatives mechanism, and do conflict with other packages that provide ksh (pdksh, ksh, probably zsh on Debian/Ubuntu, pdksh on Red Hat). There is no intent to change that.
For building from source, you will need BSD make (usually hides under the name `pmake' on most Linux systems).
If you like the stuff, support OpenBSD.
