Hi.

Yeah, and I know I once saw a compiler for bash scripts, or should I say bash2c translator? It was pretty cool, and the footprint was small too, as long as you didn't do any of the more fancy things in the script, like "for *.jpg; do <whatever>; done" which would require directory parsing and regexp matching. But things like just checking return values, adding more commandline parameters and stuff like that were really translated into pretty small C programs.
BUT I can't find that damn thing anymore.

cu,
sven
