SCO's 3.2v2 already has job control, and line editing via ksh.  It shouldn't
be too difficult to make a long-filename filesystem (only about, oh, three
or four months worth of work 8-)), so you industrious hackers out there can
get started now... 8-;

Seriously, once again, I *like* 3.2v2.  It's decent, it's only crashed due
to my stuff (playing with the console driver does strange things to the rest
of the system.. 8-)), and it's got most of the features I like in it.  It's
got a way to go before it's perfect, but, then, so does any other OS.
