Actually, as long as use use ISC or SCO/ODT SysV/386R3.2, you should get the source, play around with the #ifdefs and #includes a bit, and recompile for POSIX job control, as well.

Sorry, can't sell a bin since I don't have a source license, either. ==pena -- Olli-Matti Penttinen Brainware Oy "When in doubt, use brute force."
