+etsh (extended Thompson shell)
+
+Etsh(1) is an enhanced, backward-compatible port of the Sixth Edition
+Thompson shell. Tsh(1) is an unenhanced port of the shell, and glob(1)
+is a port of its global command. Together, tsh and glob provide a user
+interface which is backward compatible with that provided by the Sixth
+Edition Thompson shell and global command, but without the obvious
+enhancements found in etsh.
+
+The original Thompson shell was principally written by Ken Thompson of
+Bell Labs.
+
+etsh was formerly known as "osh".
+
+The package includes v6scripts and looptest.
