Do one of the following:

1. Get sh164, ported by Kai Uwe Rommel, at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in
pub/os2/all/gnu/.

2. Get ms_sh200 from simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<msdos.sysutl> (?). There is
an OS/2 1.x--2.0 version in the archive. This port is by Stewartson.

3. Get the ksh alpha, ported by Kai Uwe Rommel, from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in
pub/uploads/gnu+other/.

sh164 and ms_sh200 have problems with long command lines. ms_sh apparently
can be re-compiled to use other forms of argument passing (provided the called
program understands these). Oh, I wish someone would do the re-compilation...
