- Well, a little bit trivia:
-
- some years ago, various people concurrently hacked the minix-sh to run on
- osk. As I can recall, it was Tom Leitner who did the starting point. Later on
- I made serious bug-fixing and enhancements and finally the TOP-sh emerged.
-
- 'bash' has nothing to do with the TOP-sh.
