The Bourne Shell Compiler

CCsh allows programmers and system administrators to transform Bourne shell
programs into executable files that will run much faster than the original
shell scripts did and increase system performance. Also, executable files can
be given an attribute which allows them to run as another user when they are
executed without having to worry about security breaches. In addition,
protection of shell source code is finally achieved since the original shell
script no longer needs to be on display. Since many programmers develop code by
prototyping, the shell is chosen because of its ease of use and interactive
features. Once a project has been accepted, it must usually be hand-converted
to C, a slow and error prone task. With CCsh, this task is completely
obliterated. Therefore, programmers become more productive without needing to
learn new skills by having the broadened capability of fast shell code as well
as source code security and portability.
