Pure POSIX sh turned out to be robust enough for my project, but the various UNIX systems I've ported it to lack anything with dash's raw speed. Naturally, I just ported dash to them as well. Patch stack incoming. I expect some of these might need further explanation or revision before being accepted. Regards, Brian Koropoff
