Description:
Scsh is a Unix shell that is embedded within R4RS Scheme. It provides high-level shell notation and full access to the Unix system calls. The current implementation is built on top of Scheme 48, version 0.36.

Real interactive use needs a parser for an sh-like syntax, job control, and the gnu readline library. If you're interested in hacking on these things, drop us a line at scheme-underground@ai.mit.edu. We've got designs for most of this stuff; we're just short on time and bodies.

Portability:
easy to port
Ports:
SunOS, NetBSD, Linux, HP-UX, NeXTSTEP (on intel)
