well, you can almost have Berzerkeley style job control in Sys V, at least
at the shell level, by using ssh, written by Simon Brown who presently works
for Meiko.  Look up the review of it in last month's EUUG newsletter (Sorry,
non-europeans :-) It uses sxt's in a more convincing manner, gives very
comprehensive command line editing, etc.  so you can make it feel almost
like tcsh under Berzerkeley, ctrl-Z and all!

If you got sxt's at all on your unix, ssh can use it.  Being able to use
the arrow keys to manipulate history is then "just another plus" :-)
