10 # If your host lacks the Korn shell,
11 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:

17 # <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.mun.ca/pub/pdksh/pdksh.tar.gz>

20 # If your host lacks awk, or has an old awk that does not conform to Posix.2,
21 # you can use either of the following free programs instead:
24 # <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>
