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.

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 !
