kshs, and more kshs

I read about the down-level version of the ksh on some 3b1s,
so I decided to check out the STORE version on osu-cis.

Well, the STORE version is indeed version 06/03/86.  However,
the versions I have on my system seem more recent,
or at least created more recently.  Note the output from coffdate.
Still, the STORE version is bigger, and have you ever heard of
any new version of the shell get SMALLER?

I lost Thad's original article, so I don't know if he said anything
about the 3b1's shell being a new compilation of old code . . . .

Where is the version 11/16/88e?  I would assume that version would
be newer still . . . .
