[Linda Walsh]

I was trying to gunzip a bunch of small files ;
tried
for i in *.gz;do
sem -j6 $i
done
-- which I though should 2 6 in parallel, but seemed to get 1, then a 
burst, but more '1' than burst (of 6)

so then tried putting the sem in background thinking the sem would
block the remaining jobs...instead...got the below...
not sure if I should try to include the ~680 tiny gz files...(seems like 
it wouldn't matter
on content alot?)
