Hamilton C shell

Hamilton C shell is a clone of the Unix C shell and utilities for Microsoft Windows created by Nicole Hamilton at Hamilton Laboratories as a completely original work, not based on any prior code. It was first released on OS/2 on December 12, 1988 and on Windows NT in July 1992. The OS/2 version was discontinued in 2003 but the Windows version continues to be actively supported.

Design
Hamilton C shell differs from the Unix C shell in several respects. These include its compiler architecture, its use of threads, and the decision to follow Windows rather than Unix conventions. By contrast, Hamilton uses a top-down recursive descent parser that allows it to compile statements to an internal form before running them. Threads bash date loops. Lacking fork or a high performance way to recreate that functionality, Hamilton uses the Windows threads facilities instead. Windows conventions Hamilton differs from other Unix shells in that it also directly supports Windows conventions for drive letters, filename slashes, escape characters, etc. == References ==
