V6 Thompson Shell Port provides two ports of the original /bin/sh from Sixth Edition (V6) UNIX (circa 1975). osh is an enhanced port of the shell, and sh6 is an unenhanced port of the shell. This project also includes the following external shell utilities: glob6, if, goto, and fd2.
Changes: This release adds the program name to osh diagnostics (e.g., “osh: syntax error”). It also adds COPYRIGHT section headings and appropriate copyright notices to all manuals. Further code cleanup and rechecking with splint eases future maintenance.
