My code is actively maintained and fixed _all_ documented historic bugs, see: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/bourne/ > I see that you already wrote up the differences between osh and bosh in an earlier post. Is there a good reason why these comparisons are not on the Schily Tools web page already? :) The schily tools act as a container to publish the current code state. There is no such maintaine...

...bsh based solely on its name. If you tell me that I can download ?od?, I reply that I already have a functioning version of od, thank you very much. :) 2.

I think that's my first true question (rather than answer) to R-help. As R has, for a long time, become my primary scripting and programming language, I'm prefering at times to write Rscript files instead of shell scripts, notably when R has nice ways to do some of the things. On a standard standalone platform with standard R, I would start such a script with

...Bourne Shell. It was named bsh because I implemented my history editor at H. Berthold AG while working on a depanded page variant of UNOS. > 2.
