In that time I have fixed various syntax bugs and an odd NULL pointer dereference. I also enabled a few more builtin functions and added readline support. (But I'm using the small and stupid editline replacement that I found with the rc shell to avoid GPV contamination.) The result is only 73k and even runs under 16 bit Minix if you treat it gently. I have placed the ash and editline sources in ftp.cs.vu.nl:kjb/ash for those who might want to take a look at it. I think it was once based on the NetBSD 0.9 sources. I could find out if someone wants me to. Be careful with the Makefiles, they are a bit weird. -- Kees J. Bot (kjb@cs.vu.nl) Systems Programmer, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
