No problem, I just plunk down $40000 dollars for a SVR2 source licence
(I can't buy a binary, the binary won't run on my machine), figure out
how to extract the source for sh from the distribution tape (My system
doesn't HAVE cpio, yet that is how AT&T insists on distributing), then
throw the rest of the tape away.  SURE.  I am also in need of a bridge
in brooklyn.

At least an sh to C converter program is AVAILABLE at a sane price.

I sure wish AT&T had a more lenient licensing/upgrade policy.
