- I don't feel very optimistic about the porting of Unix styled shells.
- The immediate reasons are:
- 1. (still) fork problems, and
- 2. lacking of the job-controlling signals like SIGTSTP/SIGCONT
- under OS/2 (is there any?)
-
- To solve the fork problem, a lot of modifications to the original
- code should be rewritten.
-
- The job control hooks depend on IBM:-(.
