and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the
shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable

smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the

now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as

framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of
business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell
currently in progress at
