-
- ZShell is a small (26K), fast and powerful SHELL with many (64) builtin
- commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C: directory
- what effects in saving disk space and reducing disk accesses. There
- is no way around ZShell for those who do not have a harddisk or still
- have Kickstart 1.2/1.3 . But it is useful for those with a better
- Kickstart and/or harddisk, too, because for example it has powerful
- editing & history, filenamecompletion, review buffer and a lovely
- LIST, DIR and INFO command (very sensible ones !). I tried to made
- usage similar to the AmigaDOS Shell for easy using.
-
- Some of the features:
- * Freeware, no payment required.
- * Usage is similar (or better) to the standard AmigaDOS shell.
- * Supports the standard housekeeping commands which are builtin,
- so no disk access is necessary.
- eg. list, dir, cd, rename, makedir, delete, copy, path, info, type
- * A total of 64 builtin commands.
- * About 26K small (pure assembler code, source included).
- * Starting from Workbench or CLI/Shell possible.
- * Filenamecompletion by simply pressing TAB.
- * Review-buffer to see what scrolled out of the window.
- * Command line editing better than KS2.0 .
- * Command and Function key aliasing.
- * DIR and LIST both sort (by default) and show filesize.
- * Simple 'MORE' type text viewer.
- * Some commands and features for debugging system/programs.
- * Online HELP function and AmigaGuide documentation with examples.
- * Has a kind of Memory-Clock with alarm.
- * Colourful output, can be reduced to one colour.
