AKCC_Shell V2.2.0
- part of AKCC (SHAREWARE) -
(c) 1990-93 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 : 29.05.1993
Distribution :
==============
This tool is part of AKCC (SHAREWARE).
Distribution conditions are the same as for AKCC V2.2.0.
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.
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,
W-5900 Siegen 1,
Germany.
Usage :

"System" or by pressing the "ESCAPE"-key.
The functionkey-settings remain until the next reset, if it is not
changed in the meanwhile.

Version-History :
=================
All versions before V2.0.1 (some SHAREWARE, some FREEWARE) have not been
part of AKCC.
Since V2.0.1 this actually is the case.
V2.2.0 :
--------
- internal changes and bug-fixes
- fixed bugs in the internal Execute-Routine :
Paths and Parameters now O.K.
V2.1.2 :
--------
- mainly bug-fixes in the german doc-file
V2.1.1 :
--------
- use of SAS/C V6.00
- code-reductions
V2.0.1 :
--------
- many tests under OS V2.04
- "$VER"sion string of OS V2.04 is supported
- better handling of <CTRL-C> / <CTRL-D>
- now "auto-restarts" under use of "cback.o"
- fixed problems with path-management (own commands, see below).
Current maximum path number is 256 (this should be enough for almost
anyone. Really dynamic allocation is not yet implemented.
- new commands :
- Big
- CD (many work has been put into this, because
normal "CD" doesn't work with AKCC_Shell.)
- AddPath (set additional search path)
- RemPath (remove a search path)
- Prompt
- and much more
