For what it is worth, the functions do not work on ULTRIX 3.0 /bin/sh. This
is suppose to be from BSD sh from a while back. The functions do work on the
/bin/sh5 which is suppose to be based on SYS V.2 (I think it is version 2).

So, based of this, *early* version of sh might not support this.

Thanks for pointing out this function, I had not though to test our sh5
out for this. Learn something new every day.
