trash is small,fast&braindead(tm) shell for linux.

why do i need one more shell, i have bash, pdksh, zsh, csh, psh, ash, ...

it's fast. have a look at output of simple test, which depends mostly on
RSS and startup time of shell:

<13:43:doc>% ./speed-test
/bin/ash:
    0.47s real     0.21s user     0.23s system
/bin/ksh:
    0.76s real     0.34s user     0.38s system
/bin/zsh:
    3.94s real     2.68s user     1.06s system
/bin/bash:
    1.88s real     1.14s user     0.65s system
../trash:
    0.11s real     0.02s user     0.09s system

/bin/ksh is pdksh compiled for /bin/sh, w/o history and the like.

i don't force anybody to use it as interactive (or even login) shell.
personally i prefer zsh for this purpouse. however when scripts speed is
required it's a good choice. it can be also used in small systems
(aka mini-distribution)

and one more: trash is copylefted GPL
