That would be ksh93, which _was_ available from www.att.com as part of the 
reuse package (along with nmake, vmalloc etc) [the distribution was associated
with a book, but I forget who the publisher was]

Is it now on a Lucent page ? Post split, Korn works for AT&T Labs Research, 
not Bell-Labs (Lucent). I couldn't find any reference to reuse or ksh on 
either the main/research AT&T servers, or on the lucent/bell-labs servers.

Anyway the version I have (downloaded ~ Aug 95) is larger than even bash.
