CREDITS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This shell was written by me, Byron Rakitzis, but kudos go to Paul
|
||
|
|
Haahr for letting me know what a shell should do and for contributing
|
||
|
|
certain bits and pieces to rc (notably the limits code, print.c,
|
||
|
|
most of which.c and the backquote redirection code), and to Hugh
|
||
|
|
Redelmeier for running rc through his fussy ANSI compiler and
|
||
|
|
thereby provoking interesting discussions about portability, and
|
||
|
|
also for providing many valuable suggestions for improving rc's
|
||
|
|
code in general. Finally, many thanks go to David Sanderson, for
|
||
|
|
reworking the man page to format well with troff, and for providing
|
||
|
|
many suggestions both for rc and its man page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks to Boyd Roberts for the original history.c, and to Hugh
|
||
|
|
again for re-working parts of that code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, without Tom Duff's design of the original rc, I could
|
||
|
|
not have written this shell (though I probably would have written
|
||
|
|
*a* shell). Almost of all of the features, with minor exceptions,
|
||
|
|
have been implemented as described in the Unix v10 manuals. Hats
|
||
|
|
off to td for designing a C-like, minimal but very useful shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tom Duff has kindly given permission for the paper he wrote for
|
||
|
|
UKUUG to be distributed with this version of rc (called "plan9.ps"
|
||
|
|
in the same ftp directory as the shell). Please read this paper
|
||
|
|
bearing in mind that it describes a program that was written at
|
||
|
|
AT&T and that the version of rc presented here differs in some
|
||
|
|
respects.
