  Well, easi_er.  :-)

  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.
