I am *more* than interested in this product. If and when ANYBODY gets a hold
of an address or even the code (any sources?) either post it, or mail it to
me. I will gladly pay the $40 to the author. I wonder, how "unixy" is it?
I've grown accustomed to Unix, and I'd really like a shell on my GS which
is very similar to it (for example, ls gives a directory - NOT cat or catalog).
If I can't get a shell that is "unixy" enough, I'm desparate enough to write
one myself.
