Can I have some of those drugs?  That's gotta be a GREAT flashback
you're having.

SunOS, Solaris, Pyramid OSx (at least!) have shells with functions
but no arithmetic; HP/UX had the same until release 10; I suspect
IRIX and AIX have the same.

I routinely recompile my /bin/sh with -DSMALL for installation floopies;
please don't kshify MAKEDEV.
