It was my understanding also that '#!' worked only for BSD.  In BSD,
you can say '#!anything', not necessarily just shells (e.g. awk scripts
run great by saying '#!/bin/awk -f').

Now, the bonus question: is there an analogous directive for setting 
up a C shell script that will work in non-BSD systems ('#!/bin/csh' 
doesn't cut it in SVR3)?
