Description:
ZShell is a small (31K), fast and powerful Shell with many (65)
builtin commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C:
directory (like LIST, COPY etc.) 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
hard disk, too, because for example it has powerful editing &
history, file name completion, review buffer, some Kickstart
2.0/3.0 specific features and a lovely LIST command.
ZShell is inteded for shell users who do not need a script
file execution which is as complex as a programming language
(simple script execution with IF, ASK, SKIP etc. is supported).
I tried to make usage nearly like the AmigaDOS Shell with some
features known from UN*X Shells but without a confusing variety
of options ("LIST -R" and "LIST ALL" both work).
For programmers ZShell has things like showing EXEC-lists and
the task list, memory dumping and execution checking.
