1. How to translate Linux's PS1 prompt to Unix's PS1 prompt?

Hi all,

I tried to write a script  that can display the prompt as Linux does for
example:

#
or

$

Here is my script (It works on ksh of UnixWare 7)

UID=`id -u`
if [ $UID -eq 0 ]; then

# '
else

$ '
fi

but It will not display properly after running the command 'priv' to become
another users.

I wonder if I can do a script that can display the prompt as Linux prompt on
almost Unix system in Bourne Shell or Korn Shell without to install Bash.

 Thanks in advance for any advise.
