I suspect that, like me, the person who originally asked about the AT&T ksh
has just read the slashdot interview with David Korn.  In it, Dr. Korn
repeatedly points out that pdksh is based on ksh88 and, therefore, lacks a
number of the advaced features (including what he claims to be a perl-level
scripting capability) which are present in ksh93.
