SVR4 supplies several shells, and yes, Korn shell is one of them.
As an additional item, the SVR4 ksh has some new features,
my favorite is job control. You can now move processes from foreground
to background and back. (Nothing new to csh users..., BTW, csh
is also supplied with SVR4.)

The SVR4 manuals are published by Prentice-Hall.
