Not all SysV systems support shl(1)....

The sysV systems that support shl(1) usually does this by the use of
sxt which is another form of pseudo-tty's that uses another command-set
to use, hence the pty-using programs must be re-written to take advantage
of the sxt devices.....

Even others systems support pty's but only on the console port!?!....(No
names mentioned )-:).
