I don't know if this is something that is common in the public domain
world, but I have written a small command interpreter for DOS that
implements some of the features of the Unix shell.

The good news:
	history
	wildcards
	I/O redirection
	pwd, pushd/popd, ls
	built in fgrep
	

The bad news:
	no pipes (pseudo-pipes, or whatever)
	wildcards are of limited utility because of the dos 128 byte
	parameter limit
	most of the features are limited (no : modifiers on history,
	only '*' supported, etc.)

Anything it can't figure out what to do with it passes on to
dos, so you still have access to built-in dos commands.

It was written using u-soft C.  If anyone would like a copy, let me
know.  If there is enough interest, I can post it.  

I just couldn't take looking at "dir" listings any more.
