Why use U* over VMS

[David Emery]

There are two parts of POSIX you'd need to do 
>>	getso - | tbl | pic | eqn | rof | col | sqps | lpr -Ppost < file
First, you need the pipe facilities provided by P1003.1.  No problem,
that will have to be in the VIP release.

The second thing you need is the shell.  I'm not a P1003.2 shell
expert, but I don't see why this isn't a legal POSIX shell command.
The question is: will VIP come with a P1003.2-conformant shell?  If
so, then this should work just fine...
