The output from stty in SCO Unix shows its kernel has job control hooks. I was told by someone from SCO development that in SCO Unix 3.2.2 (not out yet) it will actually work ! Caveat: you will have to have ksh sources or use BASH, because SCO does not supply a shell with job control. But the again, you might as well wait for ISC 386/ix 2.2, which also will have job control and is rumoured to be released in January. -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : ..!uunet!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 512837

I've followed this newsgroup less than religiously, but I don't recall seeing any instructions for getting it, either ftp or anonymous uucp. Can someone please fill in the details? -- Marty Shannon; AT&T Bell Labs; Liberty Corner, NJ (Affiliation given for identification only.)
