(Early versions of this replaced the 4.2BSD /bin/sh with the UNIX System V version, as the sole change made to the native 4.2BSD system; more recent shipments have had a separate /usr/5bin/sh and no changes to native 4.2BSD at all.) If you are using a Bourne shell that has this problem and received it from me, please contact me for a replacement. We also have job control working under both the 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD concepts of terminal process groups; earlier versions of this will not work right under 4.3BSD. (Please do not ask when 4.3BSD will be available; that is not my domain.) Ron Natalie did the job control enhancement. gwyn@brl.ARPA decvax!brl-bmd!gwyn
