About ekkoBSD

Hello Dear people from MirOS BSD project,
I know that is old and now dead stuff but I am still interesting for it, as student, hobbist and collector of BSD-based systems. My friend contacted Mr Rick Collette about ekkoBSD, and he said that he has no copy of ekkoBSD, and that you are right address which maybe still have it. I would be thankful if you can upload it (version for x86 PCs) and tell me where I can download it.
P.S. Of course in my collection have included copy of MirOS BSD system ;)
Thanks on future answers and actions. Best regards

Oh, ok. I’m sorry I myself never mirrored it (source or binary), but
only had a peek at a checked-out CVS tree, which is gone due to lack
of local disc space on my laptop.

According to 'finger  <at> info.allbsd.org' there’s still something:
 --- FTP ---          LAST-UPDATE
 pub/ekkobsd          2004/07/19-11:14:00 JST from ebsd.sunsite.dk #CLOSED

But I cannot access (or find) it, neither through http nor rsync, nor,
after going through the pain to ssh to a machine on the ’net from which
that works, the obsolete/antiquated ftp protocol. That’s why I’m Cc’int
Hiroki Sato, who might know how to access their closed archive.

Also Cc’ing tyler, one of the two former ekkoBSD developers who had
joined us for a while (the other one is still reading the list).

As it should be ;-)

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
