I'm curious about Greg's bete noire, the missing /bin/sh.

I would very much like to hear from any other site that does not have a
Bourne Shell. In my experience with Unix systems, the Bourne Shell is the
one constant--other shells may come and go, but /bin/sh is always there.
That's why I used it.

Also, it's a lot more work to write a C program than to cobble together a
shell script. I don't have much experience at writing C programs, and I
wanted to get the arbitron program working quickly. I don't like programming
in C very much, but shell scripts are fun in a perverse kind of way.

Greg, just for you I will make a csh version of Arbitron as soon as I get my
grades handed in Monday morning. I'm grading finals at the moment.

Brian
