We have renamed /bin/ksh to /bin/sh and the bourne shell to /bin/bsh (just
in case). We've been running this for a long time on Vaxen, Apollos, 3Bs,
Suns, etc. running BSD, System V and hybrids and/or derivatives thereof.

I've never seen any major problem. I've done this on my 3B2 (SVR3) and
a Counterpoint workstation (SVR3 + "BSD enhancements") and I have yet to find
any script that breaks.

	Where can I get KSH (for a SUN 3 and SUN 4).  Is it
public domain ?
