NAME

Rc - parser and backends for 'rc' shell

SYNOPSIS

  rcconvert deparse script.rc > script.rc

  rcconvert terse script.rc > script.terse

  rcconvert sh script.rc > script.sh

  rcconvert csh script.rc > script.csh

DESCRIPTION

I am disappointed by the lack of new development in Un*x shells. It seems like the world has standardized on bash/tcsh (at best) or ksh/csh (at worst). It seems that one cause of this is the difficulty of maintaining parallel versions of scripts for each type of shell. This module aims to silence that excuse at least.
