- No; gsh is based on csh, and always will be. All Hail the High Grandeur
- of Bill Joy!
-
- But seriously, I've got code for an sh clone, and will finish a port
- as soon as I add more robust UNIX-style fork() support to GNO. I'll
- actually be adding vfork(), which the sh clone can be modified to use
- instead of regular UNIX fork.
-
- I believe, however, that there is an unshar program somewhere
- that doesn't require sh to work. I had an unshar.c on my hard drive,
- but it just fires up /bin/sh automatically; kinda not what I'd
- hoped for :)
-
- If anyone can find the sh-less unshar, I'd be happy to port it.
