YAOS (Yet Another OS/2 Shell) version 0.3, Copyright 1994
=========================================================
(FREEWARE)
This is a simple shell that runs on top of cmd.exe. It's features
are:
* Unix-like file name completion using the <esc> or <tab> key
Possible file names are toggled with each <esc> or <tab>
stroke if the commandline argument '-t' is specificied.
* a history of previous used commands with ability
to access them using commands like: !!, !4, !v test.c
(those familiar with unix would know what I am
talking about). Of course, the up and down cursor
keys will scroll through previous commands too.
* ability to change directory to any [drive:\directory]
in a single command using the normal 'cd' command.
* last but not least, it is FREE.
This is the third release of YAOS. The new features are:
* full implementation of the prompt command except for:
$I, $R and $V
* full implementation of commandline editing except for the
escape key (escape key is used in filename completion)
* the 'set' command works now
* smarter file name completion (file name completion can only
be performed at the end of the commandline still)
* works with programs that changes directory (like "vcd").
This release is by no means a bug free version. However, I hope you'll
use and like YAOS. Suggestions and comments are welcomed.
Installation
------------
1) Copy YAOS.EXE to a PATHed directory (eg. C:\OS)
2) Copy EMX.DLL to a LIBRARY directory (eg. C:\OS\DLL)
3) Now you can safely run YAOS
NOTE: Failure to perform the above steps will result in improper execution
of YAOS.
