Title: unix *sh shells for Amiga - what's out there?
Post by: NinjaCyborg on October 12, 2025, 11:26:04 PM

What unix style interactive shells are out there? the main geekgadgets one seems to be pdksh but i can neither get it to work properly (using versions from ADE and elsewhere) nor build from the source on aminet either.

a version of that is the origin of abc-shell on OS4

Matt Dillon's csh exists. it's very very old. and forked quite far from the original csh.

There's also a 'bsh' and a 'sksh' to be found on fish disks/aminet, but sadly neither is open source and its not clear how closely they implement real bsh or ksh.

There's aush which is open source but not really a unix shell.

no ash? dash? fish? push? tcsh? and no bash????

The ADE archive on aminet has an ancient version of sh and a modicum of unix commands and tools that run on a 68k Amiga.

Yeah that's the port of pdksh that doesn't seem to work properly.
