- For those who never read documents:
- Start the file called ZShell from Workbench or CLI (SHELL), or even
- better: Put the file ZShell in the C: directory and start the file ZSH.
- Now press the HELP key. Among lots of other information you see
- 'TYPE HELP ? ...'. Make sure that ZShell.doc is in the current directory
- and try that. You will see how to use the ONLINE HELP.

- Description:
- ZShell is a small (25K), fast and powerful SHELL with many (63) 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 1.3 (go an upgrade, it is worth it !). But it is useful
- for those with a better Kickstart and/or harddisk, too, because for
- example it has powerful editing & history, filenamecompletion, online
- help, aliases, features for debugging programs 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. )
