On the never ending search for another shelll....*sigh*

I d/led the sources for CLAM, but can't compile it, as it asks for a file
'header.h'....anyone have this lying around?

Also, can someone explain the differences between Berkely make, and Minix make? 
I have sources for another shell called rc. (unshar wouldn't unpack it
properly, I had to sh rc.shar it...8()...)  Anyway, when I 'make' in that
directory, it tells me 'no targets listed on line ###' or some such.  I played
arond with the Makefile, but to no avail....

What is BASH like?  Should I get it?  Does it offer much improvement over the
default bin/sh? (If nothing else, a history mechanism, so I don't have to
retype a 60 character line, due to one mistake in typing.....UGH!)

I got spoiled by 'alias' at work.  Is there any shell for Minix that provides
this?
