+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

pdksh:
pdksh: PD-ksh has most of the ksh88 features, not much of the ksh93 features,
pdksh: and a number of its own features.
pdksh: Strong points are:
-pdksh: It is free and quite portable - you should be able to compile it easily
-pdksh: on pretty much any unix box.

pdksh: The vi editing mode is better (IMHO) than that of ksh88 or ksh93
pdksh: (command/file completion using tab (optional), less buggy).
pdksh: Its weak points are that there are still a few differences from ksh88.
