Here is shql 1.3.  I am posting the complete source rather than a diff
file because of the many patches released since the full posting of shql
1.0 in October of 1991.

This new version is primarily a portability release.  It also fixes a
bug in the number of rows reported with the -q option.

Some people using Unixes that lack the USL version of the bourne shell
and other utilities have reported problems when running shql.  With bash
1.14.4 (not earlier versions) and other PD utilities like sed 1.18 (not
2.*), gawk 2.15PL5, almost any Unix should be able to run shql.

SHQL is an interactive SQL database engine.  Written as a Unix shell
script, SHQL interprets SQL commands and manipulates flat files based on
those commands.  SHQL is limited in its understanding of SQL constructs.
All this is outlined in the README file contained in the distribution. 
A demo file is also included to show some examples.
