Important Stuff - Read This First!
ASH
A ksh-like Shell for the Amiga
Version 1.0
(Copyright) 1989
Steve Koren
November 7, 1989
Important: Please Read This First!
This archive contains a *beta* version of Ash, a shell for the
Amiga which is similar to Unix ksh. I am calling this a beta
version because it has not been distributed publically, and
first releases often contain bugs which haven't been found.
Ash is probably not as powerful as ARexx, but I think it will
still be very useful. It provides a number of things that
other Amiga shells do not. Perhaps in a future release I will
provide an ARexx interface to Ash. In any case, I hope it
will be useful to Unix users who wish to have a similar
environment on the Amiga. Unix provides many many things that
Ash does not, but Ash comes closer than most other Amiga
shells.
Please understand that since the final code is likely to
change somewhat after the first release, absolutely anything
you read here is also subject to change.
Suggestions can be sent to me (Steve Koren) by one of the
methods listed in the "MiscInfo" document.
The following files are included in this documentation. This
list is subject to change:
Bugs.doc - Bug reports, limitations, etc.
