I did the same thing a while ago for Bourne Shell, basically because I
use tcsh all the time on Unix systems, but the best Unix-style shell for
DOS I've found is the Data Logic MS-DOS sh.

As you can see, mine is a bit more compact than Gilbert's 8^)...
It doesn't support the '+n' switch but it's just about as minimalist
as you can get.

Note that older Bourne Shells don't have shell functions.

Share and enjoy.

dirs() { echo $DIRSTACK ; }

popd() { set - $DIRSTACK  && shift  && cd $1  && DIRSTACK=$@  && dirs ; }

pushd() { cd $1  && DIRSTACK=`pwd`" "$DIRSTACK  && dirs ; }
