Aucbvax.5145 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!william Thu Nov 12 11:40:07 1981 Job Control for 2.8BSD The job control dir on the distribution is complete trash. It was left on without my consent . You would have better luck with starting from scratch than from that code.

The next release of the system (probably sometime in December) has it in the system properly. There are two computers running the code now, and after two weeks the number will go up to four or five. One remaining problem is that the csh for using that feature is so large it seems that it will have to run overlayed on non-sep machines.
