- Having been spoilt by the Korn Shell on my 3b1, I felt quite
- lost without it on my newly acquired 3b2 so I thought the
- clone RC shell would come in handy.
-
- Now the Korn Shell and the RC shell are worlds apart, but both
- do a wonderful job of addressing the problems they set out to
- solve. I personally find the orthogonality of the RC shell
- quite elegant.
-
- Anyway, as you probably know, the clone sources are ANSI C,
- and at least on my machine this is a no-no. Between
- 'unprotoize' from the GCC distribution on a totally different
- computer and a considerable amount of manual hacking, I
- produced sources that generate a workable shell. If there is
- any interest I'll mail these off, enough interest and I'll
- post them, very much as is, though.
-
- In passing, I had to hack a rather extraordinary version of
- dup2(). I will not accept criticism, but I'd be curious to
- know what a proper implementation should look like.
