  Actually, as long as use use ISC or SCO/ODT SysV/386R3.2, you should
get the source, play around with the #ifdefs and #includes a bit, and
recompile for POSIX job control, as well.

  I don't know about SCO for sure, but at least ISC ships
job-control-aware versions of such goodies as vi.

PS. Sorry, can't sell a bin since I don't have a source license, either.
