From the results I can see there is a solid group of Korn Shell users but I'm a bit surprised abouth the C Shell. I didn't though there was such a difference betwen the number of CSH users and KSH users. I guess part of it is because Korn is more similar to Bourne.
Thank you all for taking part and for your comments. I learned some things 🙂
Ross M.ksh is the default shell on OpenBSD (at least that's what they call it, it lacks many features of the original ksh). I bet that bumps the numbers for ksh up considerably
LutzWBeing one of the guys who "bumped the numbers" 😉:
In man.openbsd.org/ksh one of the books recommended is
M Bolsky and D Korn, The KornShell Command and Programming Language, Prentice Hall, First Edition 1989, ISBN 0135169720.
OpenBSD's pdksh is quiet similar to the ksh88 variant which "was used as a basis for the standard POSIX.2" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KornShell
It is made available for other OSs by Brian Callahan @bcallah

Ksh's current flavour is ksh93.
