Yes indeed, I am planning on posting the changes that BRL made, plus
a bunch more, probably late tomorrow.  They will be posted to mod.sources,
which is forwarded into the UNIX-SOURCES@BRL Arpanet mailing list.

I will post a more detailed announcement in this group once I have sent
the postings on to the moderator at mod.sources.  There will be about 9 (!)
postings, for two reasons. One, I am posting context diffs for three
versions of the Bourne shell (Vanilla 4.2 BSD, System V Release 2, and
the S5R2 shell that comes with BRL Unix), and Two, to make sure each
article is less than 64K in size.

BSD Bourne shell users, and System V sites who don't have Ksh, just be
patient a little longer, it will be worth the wait! :-)

How come nobody likes good ideas when they don't come up with them?
