New in this release (v1.01)
---------------------------
1) By popular demand, when cycling through previous commands using the
up/down arrow keys, the cursor is now positioned at the end of the command
line instead of at the beginning.
2) Alias for "exit" works now.
3) When a change directory is performed and if there is no immediate match,
YAOS automatically invokes the quick directory changer.
New in release (v1.00)
----------------------
1) A vcd-like quick directory changer. The new command "ycd <directory>"
performs a quick change to the directory specified anywhere on the same
drive. When the command is first issued on any drive, a directory scan
is carried out and the results stored in a file named "YCD_DAT" in the
root directory of that drive. Subsequently, YCD_DAT will be used whenever
a ycd is called. If you make changes to the directory structure, you can
cause yaos to rescan by deleting the YCD_DAT file. Currently, ycd do not
support cross directory searches.
[Note: If you are on a networked drive and do not have write permissions,
using ycd will result in a directory scan every time. (I have not personally
tested ycd on a networked drive.)]
2) Implemented CMD.EXE's F1 functionality. To search through previously used
commands, just type in the first few characters and hit the F1 function-key
to cycle through matches. You can also use the Up/Down arrow keys to do
the same thing. As a result, command editing after a search no longer
begins at the end of the commandline.
3) A command selected in a history popup window (using <Alt-h>) is not
executed immediately. This allows you to edit the command before issuing it.
4) Wrap-around now occurs in all popup windows.
New in release (v0.99)
----------------------
1) Bug fixes: "!.." works if ".." is in cmdline history.
(plus a few minor fixes)
2) 'x' no longer exits yaos. Both 'exit' and Alt-x do.
3) Environment variable expansion works now. For example, you can do something
like this: set path=%path%c:\mydir;
4) No longer exits unnecessarily when Ctrl-C is pressed while executing a
command. In fact, yaos mask out SIGINT and SIGBREAK signals.
5) Use of '&' to detach a process like in Unix.
6) New command "kill <pid>" that destroys the process whose id is <pid>
(<pid> can be specified in hexadecimal (e.g., 0x261) or
decimal (e.g., 609). Make use of the OS/2 program "pstat /c" to find out
the pids of active processes.
New in release v0.98a
---------------------
This release fixes a bug in v0.98 relating to writing aliases to files.
It has no additional feature over v0.98.
New in release v0.98
--------------------
1) The '-r <filename>' option is obsolete. In its place, a new option
'-s <filename>' is added. The file may contain both alias definitions
and environment variables settings.
2) The command "alias -r <filename>" is now replaced by a more general
command called "source <filename>". The contents of <filename> may
contain both alias definitions and environment variables settings.
3) Alias expansions will not be shown if the '-q' flag is used.
4) Alias definition in a file requires the "alias" keyword. Previously, an
alias definition in a file looked like:
c=cls
Now, it must be specified as:
alias c=cls OR
alias c cls
5) Verify on/off settings work now.
6) Hitting the <Esc> key clears the command line.
