>In producing this document, I have borrowed heavily from the work of the
Bashprompt project, which was at <A
HREF="http://bash.current.nu/"

>http://bash.current.nu/</A
>. This site
was removed from its server as of July 2001 but Robert Current, the admin,
assured me it would reappear soon. Unfortunately, it appears he's now (May
2003) let his domain registration lapse. The work of that project is
carried on indirectly by <A

>Also of immense help were several conversations and e-mails from Dan,
who used to work at Georgia College &#38; State University, whose knowledge
of Unix far exceeded mine. He gave me several excellent suggestions,
and ideas of his have led to some interesting prompts.&#13;</P
