AKShell V2.00a
- FREEWARE -
(c) 1990-92 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
This program was written under OS V2.04 and is therefore
fully compatible. It needs OS >= V1.2.
Release Date : 22.03.1992
Distribution :
==============
This tool is freely distributable. You may copy it, if the copyright
notice is left intact and this docfile is included in the distribution.
Former versions have been SHAREWARE. This is no longer the case.
Function :
==========
AKShell is a small, comfortable shell, which has especially been designed
for users of OS V1.2-1.3 (it also runs under OS V2.04).
It brings to you the possibility of using the WildCard "*" as if it were
"#?". This functions with every command.
The bad :
Only the Paths "C:" and "" (Current Path) are searched for commands.
This will not be so bad for disk users, but for HardDisk users, so
"AKShell" is not yet a good HD-Shell.
Correspondence :
================
If you like, you may send me some money. Perhaps this will motivate me
to continue programming such programs or just making updates of
this one. Send bug-reports, money or whatever to :
Andreas R. Kleinert,
Grube Hohe Grethe 23,

Germany.
Usage :
=======
