I'm very familiar with Unix, Mr. Burt. In fact I know much
more about Unix than you do.
Ummm...care to count years (perhaps decades) of UNIX experience ? care to
count number of *different* versions of UNIX ? care to count numbers of
different platforms? Care to count number of years being an SA ?

Not this is a Unix group, but yes.

No, I haven't noticed people posting about their shells being
broken.

Actually, I did read comp.unix.sys5.r4 to laugh at the postings
of another particular sysadmin, but we don't get that newsgroup
here.

MS-DOS is better than Linux. I have no problems running GNU Emacs
under MS-DOS.
And I have no problems running GNU Emacs under Linux using either bash
or tcsh or the default /bin/sh. SO whats your point? I *do* have problems
running GNU Emacs under DOS, but then again, I like doing things that
are not possible under that wonderful O/S MS-DOS
