   You can, for $2000. That may be a bit steep for some people, and
perhaps a binary would suffice. I think someone was selling such for
about $200 in _UNIX World_.

  The AT&T versions doesn't work well on SCO UNIX. As a matter of fact
the only way it works at all is to boot /bin/sh and then run (not exec)
ksh. "This will be fixed in a future version which will include ksh."
