Who cares? *MY* cron is in the public domain. Get it from a
comp.sources.unix archive site near you. Or get it from
gatekeeper.dec.com via prospero or anonftp. Or wait for 4.4BSD.
A cron that doesn't let you set its path, will not send you mail
if your commands generate output, and will not let each user have
their own crontab, is, well, it's not my version, whatever it is.
