here's a little known shell ...

nsh:

	NutSHell, the smallest UnixTM shell yet. Version 1.0 (the only
one released so far) includes only 'cd' and 'echo <string constant>'.
GNU-nsh, to be released later this year, is expected to be much more
powerful, with built-in Bourne, Korn and C shell emulators. The executable
is expected to go from 306 bytes to 7Mb with this release, however.
