Yep. Mine will run under everything but the csh derivatives.

Taking one of our production machines as an example:

	orwell:~% uname -a
	SunOS orwell 5.7 Generic_106541-12 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
	orwell:~% perl
	bash: perl: command not found

It's not unheard of for my scripts to need to run on a wide selection of
our production machines (which include Linux, Solaris 7 & 8, Tru64, AIX
and OpenBSD). Bourne shell scripts are protable between all of those...
