Ancient GNU Lore:
When Brian Fox (bfox) first set out to start working on a shell, those that
were most popular were the c shell, the Korn shell and the Bourne shell. The
GNU goal was to include virtually all of the features in the other three. Thus,
it was named, "Born Again Shell" or bash for short. That was about 25 years ago
when I hung around GNU fixing bugs and the like.
