There are different versions of the real ksh (i.e. the one from Bell Labs)
ksh -- ksh88 and ksh93.  ksh93 is the one you want.  If you are on Linux,
you probably have public domain ksh (pdksh ... which isn't called pdksh on
Linux because the Linux propeller heads want you to believe there is
something wrong with ksh) which is broke and should not be used; but the
Linux propeller heads insist on including the broken ksh because they, in
their infallible wisdom, have decided you should use bash.  If you are in
this situation, ksh93 can be downloaded for free.
