Maybe I should add some more. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-( :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) A commonly-asked question from a BSD-kind-of-{guy,gal} is "What's the equivalent of job control?", and the answer is always "shell layers", which uses the SXT mechanism. I feel that this answer is in the spirit of the question even though it's only a very rough analog. *Some* people think that they are the same thing, and that's what my posting was making a poor joke of.
