On a BL3 laptop 486 I just installed bash and tcsh packages from SW4.0 
for use in a 'unix shell scripting' class.  I could not find Korn shell 
for SW4.0.  Did I miss any others?

I also downloaded bash binary compiled with dietlibc - would this work 
better than the five-year-old bash from SW4.0?

In order to practice writing scripts in the different shells, is it 
sufficient just to have bash and tcsh on there, or must I set up a couple 
of user accounts, one for each shell?  I have not been closely following 
the method of doing this on a linux designed to work as single-user (and I 
hope it is not necessary).  Perhaps it would be helpful to practice using 
.profile, .login and .cshrc on different accounts?

Instead of setting up user accounts, could I convert the loop bl3 
to bash and the hd bl3 to tcsh?  If so, how?
