Short: Great Shell: Small, fast and powerful with CFN and review.
Authors: Paul Hayter & Martin Gierich
Uploader: uj3w@ibm3090.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Martin Gierich)
Version: ZShell V2.2 (02.01.95)
Type: util/shell
Requirements: Just an Amiga
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.
Description:
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.
Note:
This is an update to Version 1.3 on the Fish Library Disk 537 from
Paul Hayter. I (Martin) tried to ask him for permission to release
this, but he has not answered. Because it is still Freeware and the
original executable with documentation is included, I do not think
that I am doing something nasty. ( In the original distribution
there was the source code included but there was nothing stated
about changing the source. )
