I am looking for a simple (:-) UNIX-style shell interpreter (preferably the 
C-Shell) for VMS.  I looked in the DECUS catalog under LBLtools (VAX-14) and
it looks like it is what I need.  However, there are two problems:
	1) Is this a Bourne Shell, C-Shell, or a subset of either/both?
	2) The source code for LBLtools is in FORTRAN and we only have VAX C.

Also in the DECUS catalog is something called VSH (VAX-123).  It says it is
an command interpreter which "incorporates all the features of DCL and a
history mechanism".  However, it does not say exactly what shell language
it interprets.  I am assuming it is just making DCL friendlier.
If you have any knowledge of this product it would be much appreciated.

						Thanks,
