Yep, I sure am. I dislike the ARP approach and haven't paid much attention to
them. I'd never heard of their "ash". The one I'm talking about is a bourne
shell clone on UNIX. Now why would one clone the bourne shell on UNIX? To
enhance it, of course, like Korn did. This one is less ambitious than Korn's,
it merely provides the System V Bourne shell functionality for Pre-SYSV UNIX.
But it's Freeware.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a real UNIX shell source to start with? I can try
digging it up if you like.
