-
- - part of AKCC (SHAREWARE) -
-
- © 1990-94 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
-
- This program was written under OS V3.00 and is therefore
- fully compatible. It needs OS V1.2+.
-
- Release Date : 25.07.1994
-
-
- Distribution :
- ==============
-
- This tool is part of AKCC (SHAREWARE).
- Distribution conditions are the same as for AKCC V3.5.
-
-
- Function :
- ==========
-
- AKCC_Shell is a small, comfortable shell, which especially has been
- designed for users of OS V1.2/1.3, although it also runs fine under
- OS V2.04+.
- It gives you e.g. the possibility of using the WildCard "*" as if it were
- "#?". This works with each command.
-
- Also setting of SearchPaths like under Dos is possible, although both
- methods are _not_ compatible.
