Re: A thought about some things in es.

   I'm not making an argument for asceticism.  I feel that user mode
   interfaces can do a respectable job, although not identically the bsd
   ctrl-Z thing.  I use "screen" all the time, just bind ctrl-z to the
   command character instead of ctrl-a.  And if you are running a window
   system (almost always, these days) that's the appropriate place for
   such things.

i disagree completely.  i use screen and X often.  infact, i
always use screen  :)  but without job control, i would be
sorely lost.  i use it probably every 10 minutes or so, when
i am hacking.

anyway, bob manson hacked es-0.84 to do job control for me
some years ago.  the only problem was a couple of core dumps
that i was seeing.  i don't have the source anymore  :-(
but i will ask bob if he still does.
