Program Description:
Tshell is a powerful visual shell for the PC which provides an efficient envi-
ronment for the user to manage DOS. Version 1.1 is a working demonstration of
a larger, more powerful version (2.0). It acts as an interface between the
user and Operating System, interpreting and executing commands entered by the
user, thus providing a much friendlier environment in which to work. It helps
issue commands by providing a menu of command options and aids the user in the
construction of those commands. Tshell also makes extended use of the screen
to graphically display important information and provide on-line help. It pro-
vides a visual means to travel through the hierarchical directories of DOS.
The user actually sees the tree structure represented on the screen, and can
walk through the tree with the cursor, which is manipulated with the arrow keys.
Tshell is written in "C" and 8086 assembly. It is most effective on systems
that have a fixed disk and requires at least 256KB of memory and DOS 2.0 or
higher. Tshell displays the amount of free RAM memory available, allowing the
user to compare this to an application before running it. It also supports a
color monitor and allows the redefinition of the default color scheme.
