We are running SysV.1 and SysV.2 on NCR Towers here. I recently discovered
that our Bourne shell will read a file called $HOME/.shrc (very much in
the manner that csh will read $HOME/.cshrc). This is NOT documented in
our manuals and I have never seen it on any other SysV machines. For those
of you who use the Bourne shell primarily, this is a great boon since you
can effectively export functions (which can be used like csh aliases).

Please email me any comments or previous findings. If the volume is
great enough I will post a summary.
