"shl" can do most of the things you probably use 4BSD job control for,
but it has some restrictions.  One is that "shl" needs some "sxt" pseudo-
devices; make sure there are enough for all the "shl" users on your system.
The other main problem is that processes don't automatically repaint the
screen when they get control of the terminal back.
