Well, the problem is the source code is not available since it is still
copyright by Tandy and Microware.  This shell can only be made using
a patch program that is also on CIS.

Since I am not a "power" USENET user, I lack the skills and knowledge to
post this shell here unless I can do it in BINHEX format.  However,
Pete Lyall, a frequent lurker about these parts, has the abilities I
lack and could do a uuencode or whatever is needed.

I'll check with the author of the patch and see if he would mind having
it posted here.  Another alternative would be the OS9 Users Group...
the shell is available through them.

Sorry I can't help more.
