I have heard that there is a Shell called "zsh" on UNICS-systems. ZShell
has nothing to do with it, because it tries to be AmigaDOS compatible,
not just another UNICS shell clone. The compatibility is, of course, not
100%, if you need that use the original AmigaDOS Shell. So ZShell has some
differences, that give the special feeling of it.
The first main advantage of ZShell is its power/size ratio. In just 30K
there are all often needed commands (like list,copy etc.) and some not
so often needed, which do not increase size much.
The second main advantage is the Filenamecompletion (short: FNC) and the
review buffer. FNC is like those shells on UNICS and can therefore be
controlled fully with the keyboard. No annoying filerequesters pop up,
that make it neccessary to change from keyboard to mouse.
Nevertheless you can use ZShell with (memory hungry and slow) console
handlers like  KingCON .
