 Cool!  ...but it doesn't work for me on a Red Hat 7.0 machine: 
 That's 'cause linux systems (well, most; I know redhat does for sure) use
 "bash" as "sh".

 However, it doesn't work on IRIX 6.5.10 either...  though it DOES work on
 solaris 8.  huh...

 From IRIX 6.5, 'sh' is actually 'ksh'
so it's not Bourne shell either.
