Aaarggghhh. This really sux, although I have a slightly different point
of view on this. Some systems are still shipped with the plain Bourne
shell (which has been around since 1970 and hasn't had much alterations
since then). It's like volunteerly driving a car from 1970 or using
command.com. If a manufacturer of Unix systems is really serious about
using a shell, it should ship at least bash or even better, zsh (which
incorporates the functionality of sh, ksh, bash and some of (t)csh).
Apparently both HP and Sun think you should use only point-and-click
interfaces...
