- RE: Version 1.33
-
- The enclosed program (SR.EXE) and documentation (SR.DOC) are for
- version 1.33 of the Still River Shell user supported software.
- If you have the prior version of the shell, please replace any
- old copies of the shell or its documentation with version 1.33.
-
- If this is your first copy of the shell, the following is a brief
- summary of the Still River Shell.
-
- The STILL RIVER SHELL is a powerful PC-DOS system utility
- providing an efficient and simple environment for file and
- directory management as well as a high performance command
- interface to DOS. The Still River Shell is an invaluable tool
- for all PC-DOS users from novice to professional:
-
- - Eliminate almost all command and filename typing.
-
- - Keep a stack of 20 of your prior DOS commands for instant
- recall, WP type command line edit and execution.
-
- - Turn your directory into a menu you scroll through,
- selecting items for use in command execution.
-
- - Copy, move, delete and list files and directories with
- single keystroke command selection as well as automatic
- generation of command, file and directory names on your
- command line.
-
- - See realtime file, directory and disk information as you
- execute commands.
-
- - Locate files easily anywhere on your system.
-
- - Display graphically directory tree structures.
-
- - View the contents of a file.
-
- - Sort files by name, extension, size or date.
-
- - Protect against accidentally copying onto existing files.
-
- - Backup large directories onto multiple diskettes.
-
- - Define your own extensions to the Shell's command set.

-
-
- The Still River Shell runs on the IBM PC, XT & AT or true
- compatibles under PC-DOS or MS-DOS versions 2.n and 3.n; occupies
- a minimum of 76K.
-
- RELEASE 1.33 CHANGES:
-
- - Supports Color.
-
- - Changes the file list presentation to maintain a full screen
- of files when deleting and moving files.
-
- - SORT execution automatically returns to the LIST
- presentation.
-
- - ATTR option in FIND now defaults to (ON).
-
- - The ATTR option in FIND now works like the SORT criteria and
- remains in effect until reset.
-
- - The Function Key directory parameter (%3) now has a slash
- (\) appended to it unless the directory is the root
- directory. As a result, the directory parameter can be
- combined in batch files with the Function Key file name
- parameters (%4 and %5) without checking for a root directory
- condition or inserting a slash (\). For example: if the
- current directory is (\CURRENT\WK2) on drive (C:) and the
- <selected_file> is (FILE1.ABC), the following command line
- is passed to DOS when Function_Key <F6> is entered:
-
-
- SRF6 C:\CURRENT\WK2\*.* C: \CURRENT\WK2\ FILE1 ABC
-
- If the file SRF6.BAT is defined as:
-
- MYEDITOR %2:%3%4.%5
-
- then following command is generated:
-
- MYEDITOR C:\CURRENT\WK2\FILE1.ABC
-
- Thank you for your interest in the Still River Shell.
-
- Sincerely,
-
