While I think it's well worth looking at scsh, in my opinion scsh
is a great scheme interface to UNIX, but not terribly relevent to
the LispOS way that things should be done. As I think Olin
Shivers said himself, scsh is unashamedly UNIXoid, and doesn't
consider the possibility that co-operating processes via pipes
(UNIX) might not be the best way of doing things (like LispOS).
