-Excerpts from the README:
+This is a reimplementation for Unix, by Byron Rakitzis, of the Plan
+9 shell. rc offers much the same capabilities as a traditional
+Bourne shell, but with a much cleaner syntax.
- This is release 1.5 of rc.
+See the end of the man page, under "INCOMPATABILITIES" for (known?)
+differences from the "real" rc.
- A unix version of the Plan-9 Shell.

- See the end of the man page, under "INCOMPATABILITIES" for (known?)
- differences from the "real" rc. Most of these changes were necessary
- to get rc to work in a reasonable fashion on a real (i.e., commercial,
- non-Labs) UNIX system; a few were changes motivated by concern
- about some inadequacies in the original design.

- CREDITS
-
- This shell was written by Byron Rakitzis, but kudos go to Paul
- Haahr for letting me know what a shell should do and for contributing
- certain bits and pieces to rc (notably the limits code, print.c,
- most of which.c and the backquote redirection code).
