My thanks to Messrs. Natalie,Callow,Gwyn,Weiser,Harris and Kraines for their responses. The list below shows the kind of thing I'm looking for but of course it's not complete. If it were, one could write a program to convert shells (almost) PWB SHELL BOURNE V7 SHELL --------- --------------- 1. | Must have #! /bin/sh as first line else | gets treated as C shell. | 2. = a "" | a="" | 3. if "$n" -gt 0 then | if test "$#" -gt 0; then... $n is nb. of parms to shell | Must use test and $n--> $# | 4. endif | fi | 5. ; 'comment' | # comment | 6. echo "string \c" | echo -n "string" | 7. expr arg | = c | c=`expr arg` | 8. savoir faire | je ne sais quoi |
