AIX 3.x/4.x had a ksh88 and even the sh was actually a ksh88, AFAIR.
Don't know about AIX 5.2, though.



ksh93 has been available for a *very* long time.  It's packaged with
CDE and is usually in /usr/dt/bin/dtksh


Is CDE now part of the base package? 


Hmm.... I guess it depends upon what you mean by "base package"...
guess I'd say yes, though.



It had been an optional package to the OS and you had to buy it
separately. If your company did not need/like/buy it, it simply
wasn't there.


Hmmm... I don't recall that, but I'm not involved in paying for things.
It's been included in the base disks shipped for a very long time, though.

Not necessarily the entire CDE package, but if you check, most vendors
include /usr/dt now.

Formerly it was not guaranteed to
be present. Could you somewhat specify "*very* long time"; just curious.



Something like 7 - 10 years, anyway.

HP and IBM has installed for quite some time, I think Solaris started
around 7.

Nice shell... unless you hate it :-)
