Sorry, no! Bourne shell came before csh and Bill Joy incorporated Bourne's
ideas into csh, not the other way 'round.

My mistaken belief in the opposite order was corrected by Steve Bourne
personally.

Regarding poor service by Sun, encourage Sun to clean up their act by
cancelling outstanding orders and placing orders with their competition,
i.e. Silicon Graphics, Masscomp, Apollo, et al.
