operating systems. The end of this file contains a partial list of
operating systems and machines that ksh-93 has been known to run on.
The layout of files for ksh-93 has changed somewhat since ksh-88,
the last major release. Most of the source code for ksh remains in
the sh directory. However, the shell editing and history routines
are in the edit sub-directory. The code for shell built-ins is
in the bltins directory. The data directory contains read-only
data tables and messages that are used by the shell. The include
files remain in the include directory and the shlib directory
is gone. The features directory replaces the older install
directory. The method for generating systems specific feature
information has changed substantially.
Most of the source code for ksh is in the src/cmd/ksh93/sh
directory. For information on what's where, see the file DESIGN.
A new '-o posix' shell option has been added to ksh 93u+m that makes the
ksh language more compatible with other shells by following the POSIX

It is advisable that you put the line PWD=$HOME;export PWD into the
/etc/profile file to reduce initialization time for ksh.
To be able to run setuid/setgid shell scripts, or scripts without read
