pdksh is listed on the cygwin ported software links page:
http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael
/GNUWin32-links.html
and more specifically:
http://www.hirmke.de/software/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael
/GNUWin32-links.html#pdksh-5.2.13.x
which will ultimately get you to:

You've answered your own question. ksh does what you want. bash doesn't
bash doesn't work that way on other unix systems either. This has nothing
to do with cygwin. The solution is to use ksh as your shell. (No, I don't
know
where to get it.)

This was encountered with cygwin v1.1.8 under Windows 2000 Professional.
The following script executes fine on other unix systems but not with cygwin
and I was wondering how to get around this problem:
echo one two three | read v1 v2 v3
echo "v1 = ${v1}"
echo "v2 = ${v2}"
echo "v3 = ${v3}"
It seems that the variables are not set at all when this is done with
cygwin.
I have this kind of code in many places and would really appreciate an
answer.
Thanks!
Regards,
Sergio Del Rio
