We have ksh88b running on all our 4D's.  The OS is 3.2.  We licensed it
from AT&T and haven't had much problem getting it running on all our
machines here, the only exception being Apple's A/UX which took a bit
of work.  On the SGI's, the only gotcha I remember experiencing when I
built ksh was that it needed to be compiled to run in raw mode only;
otherwise it had a disconcerting habit of logging the user off whenever
he tried to edit the command line.  There may have been a couple of other
problems with include files, but they were trivial enough for me not to
remember them any more.
