[comp.os.minix] shell insights

No, csh contains AT&T code.  There's also tcsh, which hinges off the C shell.

Holub's shell is somewhat compatible with the C shell and I used it on DOS
machines (extensively modified).  If Allen gives his permission, I don't see a
problem running on Minix (I de-dosifyed it -- its somewhere).

It's clean C and runs on DOS.  I liked it.  It comes with a book and is cheap
enough (about $29.00) from M&T.

Someone wrote clam and it seems to run on Unix.

BASH is the bourne-again shell (from GNU) which I'm using now on Unix.  It is
too big to run on a 8086 machine (I think).  Should run on Minix-386.
