That's good.

Any idea why you get the wrong return code?

I understand that WGET's return codes are not always easy to interpet, but 
as it stands now build.sh has this code:-


  if `wget -q -Nc -t 1 -P $REPOSITORY $URL`; then
    echo retrieval failed
    exit 1
  fi

and in your case this does appear appropriate. Can you suggest what it 
should be instead?

OK, I found out what went wrong:

The archives have in fact been downloaded properly, however wget does not
seem to return the appropriate return code, so build.sh aborts with the
"retrieval failed" message.

Simply typing "build pdksh" again results in a nice sh.exe :)
