Subject: 8-bit clean shell for Linux?
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1993 16:41:26 GMT

Can you recommend a 8-bit clean shell for Linux? I am currently using
bash, and its a nice shell, but clobbers my name if I type it. I also tried zsh,
the result was not much better. Also, I do not like the C shells.

Looking at shells, it seems that the most demanding task for a programmer
is to take a character and pass it on. Watching all those eight bits at a time
seems too difficult a task for a single man.
