I recently got a Solaris machine, and after first stumbling on to grep 
not working the way I wanted, I read the grep man page, 
found /usr/xpg4/bin/grep, was pointed to the standards(5) man page, 
which conveniently had the $PATH you need to get Posix :-)

Why it isn't standard to get posix environment instead of ancient SunOS 
environment I don't know... Backward compatibility by default?
