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 -- Ken O.
