It took me only a few minutes to get pd-ksh v4.8 (current version)
running semi ok under 386bsd.  I'm still using that binary!
I have not had time to finnish the port - there is a problem with
pipe-lines sometimes starting without access to the tty requiring
'fg' to get them going.  I'm sure it will be trivial to fix, but I
have not had time to look at it yet.

Once I have done a propper port (and solved my backup problems -
see all my postings about problems with my 60Mb tape drive...
:-)  I will release patch set 9.

For those that can't wait, I suggest building just the sh
directory as 386bsd is a pretty good posix target - that's what
I did.
