This is working just perfectly thanks. I would like to note (for the
archives) that this ksh does not support the -l option. If you want to
use it for a login shell so that it runs /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile
automatically, make a copy of it named -ksh and run that from your
windows batch file. I tried just creating a symlink named -ksh first,
but Windows didn't like it.
