I want to pick a random element from a list, and created these 2 lines, which work very well in ksh93. Unfortunately, I get this "bad substitution" message in ksh88.
I'm wondering if there's an equivalent to the second line of my script.. or if I have to install ksh93 to make this work.

I was wondering if there is anyway to use the curses library with ksh88. I saw Shell Curses function library which says I can use /usr/local/functions/shellcurses on ksh93 but I am on ksh88. I am on a HP-UX box. (0 Replies)
Hello,
I need ksh88 for my linux system - and I don't want pdksh.
Possible to get original ksh 88 binaries or source ?
(I don't need ksh93 which is available)
thanks

I have to use KSH88, so going to BASH, perl etc. is not an option.
Below is a much simplified verison of what I am doing (aka ignore my cut command and i not increasing) :)

I don't know if anyone is interested but I have been meddling with FFT for the AMIGA.
(Sadly we AMIGAns don't have these luxuries through any scripting language.

shcomp
shcomp(1) User Commands shcomp(1)NAME
shcomp - compile a ksh93 shell script
SYNOPSIS
shcomp [-nv] [infile [outfile]]
shcomp -D [infile [outfile]]
DESCRIPTION
If the -D option is not specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh93 reads and
executes with the same effect as the original script.
Aliases are processed as the script is read. Alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-D Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization.
--dictionary
With this option, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are printed, one literal per line. A literal $"foo"
prints "foo" in the output. These are the messages that need to be translated to locale specific versions for internation-
alization.
-n Display warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs.
--noexec
-v Display input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
--verbose
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
infile Specifies the name of the file that contains the shell script to be used as input.
If infile is omitted, the shell script is read from standard input.
outfile Specifies the name of the output file.
If outfile is omitted, both modes write their results to standard output.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
