Important Stuff - Read This First!
SKsh
A ksh-like Shell for the Amiga
Version 1.4
(Copyright) 1989, 1990

Important: Please Read This First!
This archive contains the 1.4 release of SKsh, a shell for the
Amiga which is similar to Unix ksh. 1.2 was the first
'Release' version; 1.0 and 1.1 were beta versions.
SKsh is probably not as powerful as ARexx, but I think it will
still be very useful. It provides a number of things that
other Amiga shells do not. Perhaps in a future release I will
provide an ARexx interface to SKsh. In any case, I hope it
will be useful to Unix users who wish to have a similar
environment on the Amiga. Unix provides many many things that
SKsh does not, but SKsh comes closer than most other Amiga
shells.
Please understand that since the code can change at any time,
absolutely anything you read here is also subject to change.
Suggestions can be sent to me (Steve Koren) by one of the
methods listed in the "MiscInfo" document.
The following files are included in this documentation. This
list is subject to change:

SKsh Amiga Shell Page 2 Readme Information
In addition, the following files are necessary to run SKsh,
and should be included here:
sksh - The main SKsh binary
.skshinit - initialization file for SKsh
.skshrc - user customization file for SKsh
cmp - misc utility
cp - "
crc - "
du - "
fgrep - "
grep - "
head - "
join - "
srun - "

These files should also be included, although their use is
optional:
Stuff.sksh - optional utilities
view.magic - Sample magic file for the "view" command
tiny_sksh - A smaller, more limited version of SKsh
If you do not have all of the above files, your version of
SKsh is incomplete.
Also, please carefully read the Installation guide. You
*cannot* simply type SKsh and expect it to run; you must
follow the directions there for proper results.
