DASH Shell Alternatives

DASH Shell is described as 'DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible.

There are more than 25 alternatives to DASH Shell for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, BSD and Cygwin apps.
