Main goal here was to provide a framework to write scripts directly in Ada. Was it a success? I still don't know. The Scripts work fine with Windows, OS/2 and Linux. But it does take a little more time to write them. But then they are more robust then for example Bash. The other thing that spoke against Bush: It is not feature rich enough - yet. I did some Bush scripts and then hit the limit of Bush. The most problematic part was the the handling of the current working directory.
