Paul says he doesn't support sysV type systems because he has no access to
them. Hence, zsh is very bsd. Bash is just fine for me - the globbing is
better than ksh, but not as good as zsh. 2.2 *is* much better than 2.1, tho'
- got it running on sequent dynix & sunos. Bash does have an annoying habit
of not being able to pipe output from a function. If you have

ll () { ls -alF $@; }

then ll|more doesn't work, but (ll)|more does. Other functions behave
similarly.
