Possible: probably yes. But not without a major amount of changes to
the code.

In that case, you probably won't succeed porting a program as involved
as a Unix Shell. There are just too many tiny little differences
between DOS and Unix to take care of, in it. Bash, e.g., took a lot of
iterations and expert involvement to get it to the point it's now at.

Why? AFAIK, Bash supports practically every feature of ksh. Some
features may have to be enabled explicitly, because they're off by
default. But that's about it, already.
