- SYSTEM 2 Operating Environment
- --------------By David Wild---
-
- System2 is public domain software, - you have my permission to copy it
- freely for your friends - so long as you don't alter it & pass it off as
- your own!
-
- System 2 is an operating system shell for the Atari ST computer. It should
- work without problem on all versions of the computer and TOS.
-
- It's main features are:
-
-
- o Unix Style command entry
- o Full input/output redirection & piping
- o Around 50 built-in commands
- o Ability to quickly recall the last 10 commands typed
- o Only takes up around 45K of memory
- o Aliasing and variables
- o Mini programming language with IFs and GOTOs
- o Built in expression evaluator
-
- To run System2, double click on the SYSTEM2.TTP icon. Full documentation
- is provided in the file called MANUAL (about 70 pages long), and can
- be accessed by using the help command. For further details on using
- System2, type one of the following (& press RETURN at the end) when in
- System2.
-
- HELP ?
- HELP INDEX
- HELP INTRO
-
- Alternatively, the file SYSTEM2.DOC contains the manual in straight ASCII
- format.
-
- Included with System2 are the public domain utilities MicroEmacs, a text
- editor, and the Eternal ramdisk.
-
- System2 was written using Mark Williams C and assembler by:
