I wonder what rocket scientist made that decision...it's lots of little break-the-Unix-tradition things like that that made the original RT piss off so many users and developers. I wonder what other "favors" they've done for us in AIX 3.0 ... (and OSF/1! :-> ) -- Jim Morton, APPLiX Inc., Westboro, MA ...uunet!applix!jim jim@applix.com

Who cares? According to the information I received, AIX 3.0 won't run on
the RT anyway. If it won't run on what we've got, who needs it?
Anyway, lots of AT&T folks have reported running with ksh as /bin/sh with
no troubles.
