Hamilton C shell is a clone of the Unix C shell and utilities[1][2] for Microsoft Windows created by Nicole Hamilton[3] at Hamilton Laboratories as a completely original work, not based on any prior code. It was first released on OS/2 on December 12, 1988[4][5][6][7][8][9] and on Windows NT in July 1992.[10][11][12] The OS/2 version was discontinued in 2003 but the Windows version continues to be actively supported.
