TAM,

Cygwin includes ash, BASH and pdksh (as well as zsh and tcsh), so the 
answer is pretty much "yes," though with BASH you might want to 
investigate its Bourne shell compatibility mode. I'm unfamiliar with 
any details of pdksh's Bourne compatibility, but it should be pretty 
close or perhaps have a Bourne shell compatibility mode as BASH does.
