ANN: BUSH 0.9.2 released

["Ken O. Burtch" <kburtch@sympatico.ca>]

BUSH 0.9.2 has been released.  It is available at the PegaSoft website:

      http://www.pegasoft.ca/bush.html

BUSH, the AdaScript Business Shell, is a Linux shell for designing
secure, reliable shell scripts that
can be later compiled as a fast executable programs.  BUSH comes with 10
built-in packages including numerics,
string processing, and measurement conversions.  (It plays WAV, AU and
audio CD's, too.)

We're looking for people to help port BUSH to UNIX.

New to this version:

     * --exec / -e -- Run a command line script. 
     * --import-all / -i -- BUSH no longer automatically imports all
environment variables on startup. Use this
        option to import all environment variables. 
     * sound package -- Play WAV, AU and audio CDs 
     * units package -- Conversion between common measurements 
     * arrays -- single-dimension arrays implemented 
     * pragma annotate( "text" ); -- Python-style embedded comments 
     * pragma depreciated( "newscript" ); -- mark a script as obsolete 
     * pragma unchecked_import( shell, var ); -- import an environment
variable with no error if it doesn't
        exist 
     * command_line.environment.environment_count and
        command_line.environment.environment_value functions 
     * command line redirection: <, >, >>, 2>, 2>> and 2>&1 now work
with shell commands 
     * "in" and "not in" operators supported 
     * based numeric literals (that is, octal, hex, etc. numbers) 
     * bitwise operations fix:  "int or 64" now works ("64 or int"
worked before) 
     * cd command: now allows Bourne shell quoting in path 
     * numerics.md5: RSA message digest 5 signature function 
     * return fix: return command no longer puts BUSH into syntax check
mode 
     * hang fix: fixed command pipelines which could hang if there were
background processes running 
     * phanton variables fixes: shell parameters no longer declared as
"new" type variables 
     * single char options: single character options can be combined
after one minus
     * export variables bug fixed
     * upgraded for GNAT (GCC Ada) 3.15
