I have a makefile on Ultrix 3.0 on a DecStation 3100.  If I am logged
in with a Bourne shell or a C shell and have the line:
SHELL=/bin/sh
in my makefile, I have the same problem as when I set it to C shell
on other Unix systems.  If I enter the command:
if [ 1 -eq 1 ] ; then echo a ; else echo b ; fi
at the command line for the Bourne shell, it works on all of the
Unix types I have tried.  Under C shell, I get missing [ or ] message.
If I force the SHELL to C shell on other Unix machine I get error 1.
This is the message I get under Ultrix, no matter which shell I 
use at login or attempt to force through the SHELL= macro.
Anybody have any ideas?

Thanx in advance...
