>Sigh<.  I am glad the csh supplied by Fortune does this.  The one we have
is not so nice.  If one carefully reads what I said in my earlier postings
on this issue, one will see that I qualify my statements based on *my

I *never* make sweeping generalizations.

Just to show y'all, here is a makefile:

> lint:
>	lint align.c
and here are the first few lines of /usr/bin/lint:
