I ported it to Xenix/286 (2.1.3) by typing "make" and reading a magazine
for a while. I don't recall any problems at all (this is the ksh-i
versions, the older versions took some doing).

I have ported it to Sun, Ultrix, Alliant, 3B1, Convex, and Encore. All
were relatively easy, but the Convex version still doesn't have working
line editing, due to a bug I don;t have time to chase.

It doesn't ALWAYS self install so smoothly, but the changes are usually
in the makefiles (and scripts) rather than the code.
