They work.

In case you don't recognize me, I have been rich at cwruecmp, rich at hal,
rich at rexago1, krm at cwruecmp, etc. and you once interviewed me.  While I
was rich at rexago1 I was running a csh from nitrex on 3b1's.  I recently
had the opportunity to run that same csh on a Burroughs XE550,
basically a remarketted MegaFrame.

rich.

ps, the 3b1 now in my home, sendai,  runs a legitimate copy of ksh.
