Why no job control in 386/ix?

You think that ISC's csh is bad, just try the one that ATT ships on their
version of the 386 software!  Eech!.

My guess at the reason.  Csh is a Berkley development and SystemV people
don't care for Berkley-isms.  I once complained about the absence of '-r'
on the System V cp command and was told, in efect, that in that context, '-r'
was an offence against Decency and the Natural Order of Things.
