During a discussion of job control in the "Unix Directions" panel at Usenix, Dennis Ritchie made the following cryptic statement (as near as I can remember): Somebody in the development group had a very good idea. It's been implemented. It will be in System VI. He was picking his words very carefully, and would not elaborate. It sounds to me like something is on the way, but it may be rather different from 4bsd job control, and perhaps cleaner (I sure hope so...). -- Henry Spencer U of Toronto {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
