[TUHS] Almquist shell

Thank you. I read about its performance giving faster shell script execution.

I am just about to disappear down the Busybox rabbit hole but that's one for the COFF, I think.

Best regards,

Cameron

In recent releases, Debian has used a version of this shell they call
'dash', in their start-up scripts, so they are running in a strictly
Bourne compatible shell, and so "bash-isms" don't creep into their
scripts - before switching to dash, they were using bash. dash/ash
probably helps with script performance, too.
