SH.ar I think is for OSK only although it's been a while since I downloaded it
and I may have forgotten the 6809 version if there was one -- or were you
interested in just the source code (which I believe does not exist in the US)?

Incidentally, after a few weeks with the Bourne shell on my MM/1, I'm sold. The
only weirdnesses are the redirection convnetion and the fact that it doesn't
automatically fork RunB. I get around the first by setting up aliases for all
the basic programs I use, a la

        alias drive runb drive
        alias color runb color

.
 and put that in my $home directory's .profile. On the redirection thing, I
either bite the bullet and do it the way Bourne intended, or I just call the
OS-9 shell, do the deed, and ESC back to Bourne. Neither is a big hassle.
