  zsh
  
     (zsh) 1. sh with list processing and database
     enhancements.
  
     Version 2.1.o (before 1995-10-30).

     2. A Unix command interpreter shell by Paul Falstad
     <pf@ttisms.com> some time before 1993-03-23.  It is similar
     to, but not completely compatible with, ksh, with many
     additions to please csh users and some tcsh features.  zsh
     supports editing of multi-line commands in a single buffer;
     variable editing; a command buffer stack; recursive
     globbing; manipulation of arrays; and spelling correction.
  
     zsh uses GNU autoconf so should compile and run on any
     modern version of UNIX, and many not-so-modern.
  
     Current version: 4.0.6, as of 2002-10-02.
