I read in Unix Today! that the new AIX 3.0 has the Korn shell as the
default shell, if you want the Bourne shell you have to get to it by
/bin/bsh. 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! :-> )
