-
- MINTSHEL is a `pure' shell which, unlike Gulam or Mupfel, doesn't have any
- builtins commands except those absolutely necessary (like cd, which must be
- builtin). You need some additional utilities, like Alan Pratt's MiNT utils
- or the GNU file utilities.

-
- Read something about that in the MausNet during the few weeks. I believe
- several people are actually porting the MiNT library to Pure C. The main
- difficulty seems to be the use of inline assembly.

- Jens.
