                                               nSHELL

NAMES: nShell  &  nShell-Pro                                   

VERSION - UPDATE: 1.5.0  (12-27-94)                                

README:
"The nShell™ brings the power and flexibility of a shell programming environment to your Macintosh.  Working to complement the Macintosh user interface, the nShell allows you to deal directly with your system.  You can work interactively with the shell to develop and script operations which previously required custom applications.  All of this is possible in parallel with your current Mac programs."

"This is the first freeware release of nShell-Pro.  Until this date, June 4 1995, it has been a commercial product.  We thank the early users of this product and hope that they will continue to benefit from the nShell.  Given that we do not plan any new versions of the product in the near future, we will be releasing full source code to the application.  Feel free to tweak the shell to fit your preferences, or to include portions of it in your own products."
