Curious. If Linux hadn't had rc when I first encountered it (really
early days - 1992 seems already late, what with Linux sitting in the
0.xx for quite a while), I wouldn't have met Plan 9 that soon.
But it is from memory. Bash may well have been an option, but in the
Minix filesystem, it would have been a real hog. Specially if GCC was
still growing up at the time :-)
I hope I'm not distorting history.
