Under ksh88 (AIX 5.2) I can use typeset -xZ4 VAR or typeset -Zx4 VAR and
get the same results, however under ksh93 I cannot. I am trying to help
someone port shell scripts written for ksh88 under AIX to work in ksh93
in SLES Linux. Is there a way to enable an older backward compatible
behavior in ksh93 to make it accept typeset options in the way it did in
ksh88?
