Kiss: the Keep It Simple Shell

Version: 0.10
Entered-date: 1995-01-01
Description: Kiss is a simple shell language interpreter, meant especially to be used with rescue disks. Kiss contains a lot of built-in commands, which means that you can put Kiss on a bootable floppy and leave out the programs cat, cd, chgrp, chown, chmod, cp, grep, kill, ln, ls, mkdir, mknod, more, mount, mv, printenv, pwd, rmdir, rm, setenv, sleep, touch, umount, wc (this list may grow..). Furthermore, having a statically linked Kiss on your hdu might help you if your /lib gets wiped
out:t: you'll still have some programs that execute. Kiss comes
flavors:ee flavors: with GNU Readline (offering line editing and filename completion), with getline (offering line editing), and with neither (offering the smallest executable). See also my SAR package, which creates a bootable Search And Rescue disk.
