- Title: Kiss: the Keep It Simple Shell
- Version: 0.10
- Entered-date: 1995
- Description: Kiss is a simple shell language interpreter, meant especially
- to be used with rescue disks. Kiss contains a lot of built-in
- commands, which means that you can put Kiss on a bootable
- floppy and leave out the programs cat, cd, chgrp, chown,
- chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, mkdir, mknod, more, mount, mv,
- printenv, pwd, rmdir, rm, setenv, sleep, touch, umount, wc
- (this list may grow..). Furthermore, having a statically
- linked Kiss on your hdu might help you if your /lib gets wiped
- out: you'll still have some programs that execute. Kiss comes
- in three flavors: with GNU Readline (offering line editing
- and filename completion), with getline (offering line
- editing), and with neither (offering the smallest executable).
- See also my SAR package, which creates a bootable Search
- And Rescue disk.
- Keywords: keep it simple stupid, shell
