I heard someone mention a shell called the adventure shell. This shell turned Unix into an adventure game where you could pick up files and drop them elsewhere etc... Does anyone have more info on this shell? Better yet, does anyone have a copy?

Does anyone have more info on >this shell? Better yet, does anyone have a copy? I mailed you the one I devised a few years ago. Mine was inspired by somebody's joke, but it really does work and some people even claim to like it as a shell (they must be crazy). It's a huge Bourne shell script. The version I sent requires shell functions, which is an SVR2 or later feature. If you have an obsolete shell, you will need to change the use of those functions (which manipulate lists) to in-line shell code. There are also some definitions at the start of the file for paginators, etc. that you'll need to configure properly. I think my distribution kit includes source code for the "ask" utility which is used to get responses to yes/no questions.
