#@(!!!)#!#*!*! (censored)

Please stop putting lines like:
# @(#) $Revision: 51.3 $
as the *first* line of standard bourne shell scripts of your HP-UX
distribution (as /usr/bin/uuto!). People using /bin/csh *cannot use*
such scripts (which can be *system* commands) because of the
*STANDARD CONFORMANCE* of HP-UX csh: if the *first* character of a
script is a # and it is *not* followed by a ! the csh spawns a "csh -c"
in order to execute it. So it is and so it must be. So, don't oblige
*all* your csh-using-customers to edit HP-UX system scripts so they
can have their machines working.

#@(!!!)#!#*!*! (censored)

Please fix it!

luke.
