My poor System V (a Unix PC 7300) does not even have such goodies as "calendar", or even "at" for that matter. Is this an example of unbundling or are things like "at" not System V but just the legendary Unix 7. It would be very nice to have a pseudo batch queue routine like "at", cron and crontab are a bit tedious for my naive Unix abilities. Flame me if you will but my perverse curiosity on this matter causes me to perhaps mis-post. Cheers,
