I know the one, and have it running at this moment in another desqview window.

Here is the ls -l output of the extracted archive:

Try this (worked for me just now):  BEFORE invoking the SH, 

	SET SHELL=./SH

This sets an environment variable to tell SH where to look for a secondary
copy of itself for running shell scripts with.  The default is c:/bin/sh

I found the following in the sh.1 file:

.\" MS-DOS SHELL - Copyright (c) 1990 Data Logic Limited

There is complete source code for this around somewhere also, it was posted
to one of the .sources groups a while back.  I have an old copy, but I don't
think it is as up to date as this binary copy.

Have fun.
