UP TO V1.3:See the source code of the ZShell V1.3 release

Author: Paul Hayter
Source: 103 KByte, Executable: 13 KByte, Doc: 32 KByte.
V2.0:There were so many changes, I think there is no sense in listing
them all here, because it may be longer than this document. So just
read this document or the source code.
All changes since V1.3 made by Martin Gierich . Released 14.10.94.
Source: 180 KByte, Executable: 25 KByte, Doc: 72 KByte.
V2.1:* IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO USED ZSHELL V2.0: Do not start ZShell V2.1 *
* if ZShell V2.0 is resident. This will crash your machine ! *
* Do not use ZSH V2.0 with ZShell V2.1 and vice versa. *
- Added a review buffer to see that again what scrolled out of the
window. A scrollbar will probably added in future.
- Added possibility to specify window when starting from CLI.
- Changed default CTRL -keys; added 2 new CTRL-keys (see HISTORY ).
- Changed usage of MORE (you can still use the cursor keys).
- DIR now hides all these files that Filenamecompletion ignores.
- Some bugs found with mungwall and scratch are fixed.
All changes since V1.3 made by Martin Gierich . Released 11.12.94.
V2.2: I did some bugfixes and minor improvements (I have no time for more).
- Fixed a REALLY NASTY BUG that trashed taskswitching when closing ZShell.
- AmigaGuide-Documentation added !
- RUN-Command added !
- NEWCLI has a new argument template.
- MORE is now "more fast". 8-)
- Filenamecompletion (display-)beeps if no match
- CTRL-J = Shift-RETURN puts the command line in History
buffer without executing.
- PROMPT now knows the args %s and %c :-) . Default Prompt
changed to "%s> ".
- Better building of the CLI-Interface when starting from WB.
- Now the Pseudo-Assign PROGDIR: is provided (OS2.0+ only).
- LIST -Q -R also works; DIR can also list recursive.
- ECHO Hi There ! will now do the same as ECHO "Hi There !" .
- Improved options when starting from CLI.
- Tooltype for starting from WB without window: WINDOW=
All changes since V1.3 made by Martin Gierich . Released 3.1.95.
V2.3: This time there are some real new features. Because now I have my
OS3.1 Autodocs and Includes, I have added several features that can
only be used with OS2.0+. There will be done version-checkings before
using OS2.0+ specific stuff, so no need to be afraid of crashes
(caused by this! :).
- New Commands: MAKEICON , MAKELINK , FLAGS and MOVE .
- DELETE , COPY , MOVE , PROTECT and JOIN are fully rewritten !
They now all use the directory-lister (for LIST and DIR)
and therefore all support wildcards and recursive processing !
- PATH -Command is now AmigaDOS compatible.
Paths from Workbench are duplicated on starting.
- Support of Hardlinks and Softlinks by MAKELINK , LIST and DIR .
- ASSIGN supports ADD, REMOVE, PATH and DEFER.
- Redirection improved: Can also be redirected to MORE .
- Can be iconified to an ApplicationIcon (see FLAGS ).
- Erroroutput is done by DOS. If your system is localized, this will
be also localized.
- DELETE DEVICE formats a disk quick,
DELETE FORCE ignores delete-protection-bits.
- ADDBUFFERS shows current number of buffers.
- Filenamecompletion can show all matching files.
- MORE supports "more keys" and checks windowsize.
- ALIAS can work without surrounding quotes; now you
have to remove before " ,sorry for any incompatibilities.
- CHECK is moved to FLAGS , VEC is moved to SHOW V .
- RESET removed: It was a hack ! RECOPY removed: Has anybody needed it ?
- First line in Command History is the last changed line.
- You can use ^* instead of ^$9b with ECHO and PROMPT .
- PROMPT works like ECHO and can contain linefeeds.
- Really faaaast searching in MORE , SEARCH and HELP .
Does anybody know a program that searches faster ?
- Bugfix and new options when starting from CLI.
- New Tooltypes for starting from Workbench.
- Read about an OS2.0+ version in the Chapter Future .
- HELP only searches the current dir and S: for the manual.
- Probably added some brand new nasty bugs and left some ugly old bugs :)
- And what is best: The versionnumber is changed ! ;-) All changes since V1.3 made by Martin Gierich . Released 10.02.95.

Now there is not much of the original V1.3 release left, because most
of the old parts are totally rewritten and size has more than doubled !
