BUSH, the PegaSoft Business Shell, is a powerful Linux/Unix shell
for designing secure, reliable shell scripts that can be later
compiled as
a fast executable programs. It can also be used an an interactive
login
shell, generate Java Virtual Machine applications, and open network
sockets. BUSH is a robust and readable alternative to BASH, CSH, and
(to a certain extent) Python and Perl.
The business shell now features backquoted commands,
filename completion, customizable prompt, 4 new built-in packages (28
function CGI/cookie package, calendar, source_info, lock_files). New
script debugging mode (--break) handles the insertion of breakpoints
(pragma inspection_point) and debugging statements (pragma debug).
SIGINT (Control-C) can break out to a command prompt at any time.
Docs greatly enhanced and include a hackers guide. Usual bug fixes.

I will certainly give it a try if it was also ported to Windows. As many
other we have often the need to run scripts on GNU/Linux and Windows...
Any plan for a Windows port ?
Pascal.

how about BUSH under cygwin? see http://www.cygwin.com
this should be easier to port. I looked at the above site and I do not
see BUSH supported under cygwin.

Well I use all the time Cygwin. This is a great toolset, but Cygwin tools are
slower than their MingW (native) counterparts. I would prefer a native Windows

Not sure it will be easier to build. I think BUSH is written in Ada and there
is no Ada comppiler targetted to Cygwin AFAIK.
Pascal.

BUSH is written almost entirely with Ada. There is a small amount of C
for portable UNIX signal handling.

I'm working on the core language and features. Several people have
offered to help with a Windows port. There is a CYGWIN thread on the
BUSH forum. I offered some suggestions in the new user guide on how to
tackle DOS and Windows ports, but to date I've heard no word on anyone's
progress.
I'd encourage a Windows port. However, since I myself have no use for a
Windows version, you'll have to wait a long time if you expect me to
write the Windows port. There are too many other items on my "To Do"
list.
