I have heard about 2 shells besides the bourne shell look-alike which
came with the P-H 1.5 release.  A ksh clone which I have never seen and
the clam shell, which is a csh look-alike from what I read in the docs.
Unfortunatels I downloaded the pc-16 binaries and when I tried to run
it it complained with an error.  The doc file said it was for Minix 1.3,
I don't know if that was the problem or not.  I also have not tried 
compiling the sources yet.  If anyone has gotten the clam shell working
under 1.5 please mail me a compressed uuencoded binary!
Also my binaries disk #2 (#6 overall) was corrupted, luckily with full
source included I was able to compile all the system binaries save one:
Kermit...my archive file was corrupt so if some kind soul would mail
me the kermit binaries I would also be very gratefule.

Other than the problem with disk 6 I love Minix (& am drooling for the
1.611 with TCP/IP!)
