Huh? The AmigaDOS CLI - and I'm talking 1.0 as opposed to later
editions and common customization and corruptions that did smell
like Unix by design - didn't seem like any Unix shell I knew.
Its Tripos and BCPL origins seemed quite weird to my senses.

And "plagiarism"? Don't you mean "tribute"? :-)
