I’m dating myself, but does anyone here remember the MKS toolkit with the Korn shell for DOS and Windows platforms? It also had a full set of UNIX command line utilities.

BASH - ie the Born Again Shell is a mash of the sh, csh, tcsh, and Korn shells with command line editing in either emacs or vi mode. Good stuff. “set -o vi”. I’m waiting for someone to bring back the AT&T windowing Korn shell. Now that was sweet.

Maybe we could call it WaBash.
