You need to get a copy of the "bourne" code from an archive site.
Look in comp.sources.unix for information about how to retrieve
files.  I have not used "bourne" or an archive site so I can't
comment on them.  The description of "bourne" said it was the
Bourne shell with job control, tilde, history, and some other stuff.
This is available for little or no charge.  I don't know if it
will port to SVR[23] but it is probablys good start.
