!Help for UnixTrans 0.01
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(All trademarks acknowledged)
UnixTrans is a module which translates Unix filenames into RISC OS filenames.
What translations does it do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It translates any filename which starts with a '~', a '/' or a '.'.
To describe how it translates, it is best to show some examples :
/library -> $.library
lib.c -> $.lib/c
~/usr -> &.usr
../../concat.objects/verilog -> ^.^.contact/objects.verilog
/dev/scsi/jarre/longfiles -> scsi::jarre.$.longfiles
The last one is useful as you can describe filing systems via /dev/... You can
perform operations such as :
*dir /dev/ram -> *dir ram:
*//dev/scsi/jitter/!Boot -> */scsi::jitter.$.!Boot
*rename g ../g -> *rename g ^.g
*delete ~/files -> *delete &.files
The other main difference is that Unix files are case-sensitive, whereas
RISC OS ones aren't.

If you combine this module with LongFilenames, then you have the facility to do
almost any Unix-type operation.

Oh, and I've done a few aliases in the !Run file for you...
