I'm looking for a replacement shell for my 3b2/400. I want a shell that has history and aliases. I have bash from the gnu project up and running (sorta), but I don't want something that BIG. At 700K+, it is just too big for what I want. I've looked at vsh, ash, bash, tcsh. The best would probably be tcsh, but I don't have the sources to csh, and I don't think I can afford to get a source license from Berkely. Does anyone out there know of a good shell for SYSV with the features I want? Thanks! John -- How do you explain Wayne Newton's POWER over millions? | john It's th' MOUSTACHE...

You don't need to. tcsh binaries are available by anonymous ftp from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu. > Does anyone out there know of a good shell for SYSV with the features > I want? Thanks! YOu could always BUY ksh from the AT&T Toolchest. I don't know the number offhand. -greg -- Gregory A.
