- I've been using bash for a while as my root shell on SunOS 4.1.2, and
- I haven't had any incompatibility problems. Apart from using builtin
- identifiers as function names or creating files with metacharacters
- in their names, has anyone out there found any sh-dependent code?
- sh seems quite robust, and bash seems a very accurate superset.
