It is not really the product like the csh that determines whether or not
you can have job control. In order to provide job control the kernel must
support it. As a matter of fact later versions of the ksh also allow job
control, similarly the bsh or BRL enhanced bourne shell also have job
control available. And I must say, having recently been working in an
environment that has job control, I sorely miss it using SCO. What I am
really interested in knowing is whether SCO UNIX 3.2 will have it or
not, someone from SCO care to comment??
