As of early '88, when the IRS took out *its* license, cost for ksh-i was
$3,000, plus transmission costs ($.10 per kb). It's since been upgraded
to ksh-88; don't know if cost has changed.

It is slated to be included standard with System V Rel 4, and is currently
available or included with some OS implementations.
