I have heard about 2 shells besides the bourne shell look-alike which came with the P-H 1.5 release. A ksh clone which I have never seen and the clam shell, which is a csh look-alike from what I read in the docs. Unfortunatels I downloaded the pc-16 binaries and when I tried to run it it complained with an error. The doc file said it was for Minix 1.3, I don't know if that was the problem or not. I also have not tried compiling the sources yet. If anyone has gotten the clam shell working under 1.5 please mail me a compressed uuencoded binary! Also my binaries disk #2 (#6 overall) was corrupted, luckily with full source included I was able to compile all the system binaries save one: Kermit...my archive file was corrupt so if some kind soul would mail me the kermit binaries I would also be very gratefule. Other than the problem with disk 6 I love Minix (& am drooling for the 1.611 with TCP/IP!)

Comes with distribution Minix clam: Tcsh-like shell, runs under Minix & real Unix's. Available from ftp sites sirius, ccadfa, plains & others ksh: Korn shell, ported to Minix. Diffs for Minix on plains. marvin: A kid's shell. Posted months ago in comp.os.minix. emacs: Does this count as a shell? Works only under 68K-Minix's and perhaps 386-Minix. I do not know of any others. I have only used sh and clam. -- Warren Toomey VK1XWT, still around. Deep in the bowels of ADFA Comp Science. `[of Fred Astaire:] He'd look good in a dress'

I ported ksh to PC 1.5.10 ACK by removing most of its features, for example if, getopts and print. This does not matter, because these functions are availabe as extern programs. Unfortunately, I had to remove filename completion too, because asld was unable to do its work, although the binary should fit into the segment. It was the first time I thought for longer than a second about cross-compiling with Turbo-C. The command line editor is really nice, but without filename completion... My favourite shell is a hacked Bourne shell with a simple line editor including history and filename completion. I made this hack within one hour and I will use it until someone of the developers post the new POSIX shell.

RE: What shells are available under Minix I'm interested in this topic too... Specifically for ST-MINIX, in my case. Has BASH (Bourne Again SHell, a GNU "product") been ported? Seems like if it hasn't it'd be straight forward seeing as how it includes source, etc. -- /**************************************************************************/ /* Kent Dalton * EMail: Kent.Dalton@FtCollins.NCR.COM */ /* NCR Microelectronics * CIS: 72320,3306 */ /* 2001 Danfield Ct.

>> What shells exist for MINIX? > sh clam ksh marvin emacs [?!] There's also "bash", GNU's "bourne-again" shell; it's sort of a mish-mosh of sh and [t]csh. I ported it to MINIX-386 and it runs great, but like other GNU software it's BIG. It's too big to run under regular PC-MINIX... Diffs available upon request... [speaking of request, has anybody fixed the "premature shutdown" bug in uucp yet? It's driving me bonquers... but I don't want to reach in and fix it if someone else is already doing so...] -- Jim Paradis UUCP: harvard!m2c!jjmhome!acestes!paradis 9 Carlstad St. AT&T: (508) 792-3810 Worcester, MA 01607-1569 ICBM: 42deg 13' 52", 71deg 47' 51"
