pipes do not need multitasking. a pipe stream (like "ls -l | grep ttp")
must be done serially (the "ls" must occur before the "grep"). job control
and "&" jobs, on the other hand, would be very nice indeed.

on a related note, what, if any, scheduling options are available with RTX?
is there any sort of priority scheme?

note that the bash described at the site in .de (germany) is source only.
(at least when i checked 8-10 days ago). i don't have room on my 60MB hd
for gcc (yet) :-( so it would be REALLY nice to have a .ttp there (or
posted).
