Old News:
========
Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn
shell (ksh) and C shell (csh).
It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools
standard.
It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive
use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
