It came about due to years of frustration of trying to do +real work with a program that was never meant to perform real work. + +Sqsh is much more than a nice prompt, it is intended to provide much of +the functionality provided by a good shell, such as variables, +redirection, pipes, back-grounding, job control, history, command +completion, and dynamic configuration. Also, as a by-product of the +design, it is remarkably easy to extend and add functionality. |
