- MPW does that right now. Last time I looked at ftp.apple.com they had 3.0

- not given though. I found a book on MPW and photocopied some sheets.
- But the shell uses so much memory that I don't think I'd use it. Plus
- it doesn't have the features I'd want in a shell. I'd prefer if someone
- wrote a C Shell with all the standard utilities. ie. grep, awk, etc. plus
- hooks for apple events and mac compressors.

- People, listen up !

- A SHELL is a SHELL. It's used to run tools/utilities; It can
- probably do NOTHING on it's own. That's the way it's under
- UNIX too. The grep, awk, etc tools have been ported to MPW, but
- you will have to install them first before the sehell can run
- them, just as under UNIX.
