Here's my contribution to the hundreds of ti-85 web pages.
Unlike most of the other pages out there, I'm just going to focus on the shells available i.e., ZShell, CShell-NT, OS-85, etc.
I designed this page for Netscape, but it will be fine when viewed by Internet Explorer but the tables woln't look as good.
