Allen Holub of Dr. Dobb's Journal has written an 'sh' for the PC.  It's
a hybrid between Bourne and C-Shell ... it looks sorta like Bourne but
has command history.  He wants $29.95 for it, including source code.  It's
been written in Microsoft C, which isn't Lattice but should convert fairly
easily.  For another $29.95 you can get a few unix-like utils such as
'ls', 'grep', etc. ... source code, too.  I think there'd be a discount
for both together (something like $49.95 for both).

You should call first and get the latest info on it, as I happen to
know Allen Holub keeps improving it, but Dr. Dobb's may not have the
latest and greatest version.

They have a toll-free number, but that might only be for orders and the
people there may not be up on the technical details.  That number is
(800) 528-6050, ext 4001.  You could probably write Allen Holub direct
care of Dr. Dobb's:

Dr. Dobb's Journal
501 Galveston Dr.
Redwood City, Calif.  94063

Also ... there is a PD C-Shell for the PC.  It's pretty good, as far as
I can tell, but I haven't received the most up-to-date version yet.  It
also comes with source code.  The author (whose name escapes me) asks
a $25.00 donation if you like it, and doesn't mind public postings.  It's
written, I believe in Aztec C, but again, I believe it won't take a lot
of hacking to get it through Lattice.  As soon as I receive it, I'll
post it here.  Stay tuned ...
