Does dscl exist and work on 10.3 and earlier too? The manpage for  
nicl is from December 2000 which makes me think it exists back to the  
beginning of Mac OS X, whereas the manpage for dscl is from August  
2003. 10.3 was released in October 2003 so maybe it does contain  
dscl. Can someone with 10.3 (Chris?) please test whether

	dscl . -read /users/$USER shell

works on 10.3, and if so what its output is?
