	THOMPSON SHELL : Encyclopedia Entry
		The Thompson shell was the first Unix shell, introduced in the first version of Unix in 1971, and was written by Ken Thompson.
		The result, known as the PWB shell or the Mashey shell, included more advanced flow-control mechanisms and introduced shell variables, but remained limited by the necessity to remain compatible with the Thompson shell.
		Finally, the Thompson shell was replaced as the main Unix shell by the Bourne shell in Unix Version 7 and the C shell in 2BSD, both released in 1979.

	Unix shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most generic sense of the term shell means any program that users use to type commands; it is called a "shell" because it hides the details of the underlying operating system behind the shell's interface (contrast " kernel ", which refers to the lowest-level, or 'inner-most' component of an operating system).
		The Unix shell is unusual since it is in both an interactive command language and the language used to script the system; it is a scripting programming language.
		PWB shell (sh) A version of the Thompson shell, augmented by John Mashey and others, while at Bell Labs.

	Thompson shell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thompson shell was the first Unix shell, introduced in the first version of Unix in 1971, and was written by Ken Thompson.
		The name "shell" for a command line interpreter and the concept of making the shell a user program outside of the operating system kernel were introduced in Unix's precursor Multics.
		Finally, the Thompson shell was replaced as the main Unix shell by the Bourne shell in Unix Version 7 and the C shell in 2BSD, both released in 1979.

	Thompson Shell Manual
		When the Shell is invoked as a command, it has additional string processing capabilities.
		In command lines in the file (not in command input), charac- ter sequences of the form `$n', where n is a digit, are replaced by the nth argument to the invocation of the Shell (argn).
		An end-of-file in the Shell's input causes it to exit.

		Among its advantages are the ability to swap the shell even though the kernel is not swappable, so that the size of the shell is not of great concern.
		An argument beginning with ``<'' is taken to name a file that is to be opened by the shell and associated with the standard input of the command, namely the stream from which programs ordinarily read input; in the absence of such an argument, the standard input is attached to the terminal.
		The shell syntax for pipelines forces them to be linear, although the operating system permits processes to be connected by pipes in a general graph.

	Thompson Shell Manual
		Before dis- cussing the arguments to the shell used as a command, the structure of command lines themselves will be given.
		In command lines in the file (not in command input), character sequences of the form "$n", where n is a digit 0,..., 9, are replaced by the nth argument to the invo- cation of the shell (arg).
		These peculiarities are inexorably imposed upon the shell by the basic structure of the UNIX process control sys- tem.

		But what is less known and appreciated is the fact that Ken Thompson was also the author of the first UNIX shell and that concepts of this shell greatly influenced the subsequent work of John Mashey and Stephen Bourne.
		Bell Labs Piscataway used the PWB shell quite heavily for its scripting needs in the mid-1970s and that probably was the first time a scripting language was widely used outside research.

	Early Unix history and evolution
		Throughout 1969 we (mainly Ossanna, Thompson, Ritchie) lobbied intensively for the purchase of a medium-scale machine for which we promised to write an operating system; the machines we suggested were the DEC PDP-10 and the SDS (later Xerox) Sigma 7.
		Thompson, R. Canaday, and Ritchie developed, on flboards and scribbled notes, the basic design of a file system that was later to become the heart of Unix.
		Thompson's itch for creation of an operating system took several forms during this period; he also wrote (on Multics) a fairly detailed simulation of the performance of the proposed file system design and of paging behavior of programs.

		Learning the Korn Shell is the key to gaining control of the Korn shell and becoming adept at using it as an interactive command and scripting language.
		The Korn shell is also faster; several of its features allow you to write programs that execute more quickly than their Bourne or C shell equivalents.
		Learning the Korn Shell is an ideal resource for many UNIX users and programmers, including software developers who want to "prototype" their designs, system administrators who want to write tools for their own use, and even novices who just want to use some of ksh's more advanced interactive features.

		Shell and Commands are large model programs to handle large shell scripts, command lines, and files.
		The Thompson Toolkit Shell is fully compatible with the "Korn Shell" which is the latest UNIX shell.
		A shell script runs your program with a specified input sequence and captures the resulting output, which is compared to expected output using diff and cmp.

		For various reasons this came to be called the "Mashey shell", a term I universally abhorred, since it was fundamentally still a Thompson shell with selected additions and tunings by various of us, constrained to be mostly upward compatible, leading to some things that I found less than esthetic.
		To summarise, some of the Bourne shell's fundamentals came from the Thompson shell, but some were new.
		Some of the added semantics, and a few pieces of syntax came either from the PWB shell, or by agreement on what it ought to be, given that everything was changing anyway.

		The sequel to Ghost in the Shell is a feast for the eyes, but a disappointment for the brain.
		Trading in a hot naked chick (however mechanical) for a partially mechanized man with attitude doesn't seem like a shrewd marketing decision, but since the story is animated, and this movie was five years in the making, you know it has to be more or less what writer-director Mamoru Oshii intended.
		And while the first Ghost in the Shell was perhaps the most blatant inspiration for the Matrix trilogy, Innocence (which makes an explicit reference to The Matrix) at times feels like a retread of Blade Runner.

		Additionally, Thompson pointed out that despite the addition of math and literacy coaches, there has been a net loss of 2,023 teachers during this time period.
