| cygwin ksh is pdksh. The specific set of code you gave does not work in
| pdksh. Read about it here:
| http://web.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/
|
| "Its weak points are that there are still a few differences from ksh88

| You can get a Cygwin ksh from www.kornshell.com

That explains it. I'll check out the one on www.kornshell.com. Thanks.
