After seeing the traffic generated by what actually was a reasonable
suggestion, despite my "after a long day snappy answer to stupid
question"-style reply, I'm sorry I added to it. ('nuff said.)
Re. Shells for DOS. There is a port of the Korn shell on Simtel
mirrors in the programming utility directory (usually
msdos/programming, I think) as ms_sh22?.zip. There's an executable
archive and a source archive, I forget which is which. There's a
real-mode version and a DOS-extended version.
I can't get it to work right, but that's probably because I've
never used Unix shells much (and right now the system I work on has
Japanese man pages and the man page with MS_SH ain't great...). It
seems to confuse the hell out of make 3.69 that comes with DJGPP, and
also Morten's gmake 3.70. The DOS-extended version crashes DVX big
time. Sigh. But someone who knows what they're doing can probably
make it work right. Me, I'm going Linux, I think.
