Hi,

there is an incompatility between Korn-Shell and zsh with emulate ksh:


A real korn shell script ( e.g. Version M-11/16/88f or Version M-12/28/93e on AIX,   Version M-11/16/88i on Solaris)

      #! /bin/ksh

      u=bzq090
      echo ~$u

gives output

      /home/bzq090


whereas the same script for zsh in ksh-emulation
      #! /bin/zsh
      emulate ksh

      u=bzq090
      echo ~$u

produces

      ~bzq090.



An old ksh-book (describes versions ksh88d and ksh88e) exactly predicts "~bzq090". However, I could not find any actual ksh that produces this result.


Kind Regards,

Dieter Lambrecht.
