- FreeDOS Command Interpreter
-
- This package is part of the FreeDOS project. Email James Hall
- (freedos@sunsite.unc.edu) for more information, or check out the archive
- at sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/pc-stuff/something.or.other (I forget where
- it is exactly.)
-
- This is version 0.10. It's currently very alpha, but it does have some
- nifty little features.
-
- Send bug reports and other info to me, Tim Norman, normat@rpi.edu.
-
- Installation
- ------------
- This command interpreter is not really ready to be run as a shell, but
- it will work a little. To make it your shell, add the following line to
- your CONFIG.SYS:
-
- SHELL=C:\COMMAND.EXE
-
- or whatever/whereever your executable is.
-
- Current supported features
- --------------------------
- SET command (with really spiffy environment handling)
- complete PROMPT handling
- EXIT command (shell is exitable by default right now. This will be set by
- an environment variable later.)
- CD command (very simple directory changing. Needs a little work.)
- DOSKEY command (merely prints a message saying it is not implemented)
- REM command (does nothing... That was an easy one!)
- TAB filename completion
- command-line history
- drive changing
- PROMPT command
- DIR command (only if DIR executable not in path)
-
- Soon to be supported (i.e. I've written them, but haven't gotten to add them
- in yet):
-
- ALIAS command
-
-
- See the files BUGS and TODO for more info.
