Summary: AT&T vs. UCB

this System V vs. BSD argument could go on for a while, so maybe it should
be moved to unix.wizards.

a parting note: someone commented that System V does not have job control. not
true - shl lets you manage up to 6 or 8 subshells quite nicely, in some ways
nicer than csh, in some ways not as nice.

while we are on the subject of System V with BSD enhancements, maybe somebody
could come up with a shell that combines ksh with csh.  i really like ksh's
ability to edit scripts, but i wish to heck it had !$.  (and while you're at
it, make it run in about 15K and as fast as native assembler code. =) )
