sh:	Your typical Bourne shell. Comes with distribution Minix
clam:	Tcsh-like shell, runs under Minix & real Unix's. Available
	from ftp sites sirius, ccadfa, plains & others
ksh:	Korn shell, ported to Minix. Diffs for Minix on plains.
marvin:	A kid's shell. Posted months ago in comp.os.minix.
emacs:	Does this count as a shell? Works only under 68K-Minix's
	and perhaps 386-Minix.

I do not know of any others. I have only used sh and clam.
