I've obtained a copy of a Bourne shell for MS-DOS which appears to be by an organization called Data Logic Limited. The ZIP file which I received was said to be ftp'ed from SIMTEL20 originally. Problem 1: The ZIP file was missing its README, which might have contained valuable setup information. Problem 2: Deciding to try it out anyway, I was unable to get any kind of shell script to run. I followed the manual's #!sh convention and tried putting a shell script in the PATH as both script and script.sh. No dice. I also tried using scripts with line separated by only nl instead of cr/nl. I did get a script to run with the dot (here-is?) ie ". script". Problem 3: The sh.man seems to be very incomplete. A sample profile.sh file appears to use undocumented features. The profile.sh's use of PATH contradicts the manual's decription also. I have been assuming that this shell is PD or shareware. If I am incorrect, please let me know. If it is indeed PD/shareware, I am interested in knowing where I can obtain a complete distribution. Also, I haven't seen any address or phone number for Data Logic Limited in the files I have. If a complete distribution is not available (or even if it is), could someone using this shell explain to me how to get a shell script up and running? Your assistance is appreciated.
