- Which means that I get to hack inews to make it work with Coherent sh.
-
- There are only two or three shells that can parse all the cnews scripts
- out of the box.
-
- 1. sh from AT&T sources.
- 2. ksh from AT&T sources.
- 3. bash, if you like to have a 250k /bin/sh.
-
- Geoff, if you know of another sh clone that will do the job, I'm all ears.
