Abstract

Many have frittered away their time on C++, while overlooking the new, POSIX.2-required, object-oriented language: sh. As will be clear from the enclosed code, the name may allude to the fact that the author would be embarrassed to have anyone find out about it. This paper introduces a tiny, object-oriented programming system written entirely in POSIX-conforming shell scripts.
