- What is WinCLI?
- ---------------
-
- WinCLI is a command line interface for Windows 3. It performs
- most of the functions that the standard DOS prompt, Command.com,
- does. Why then, do you need WinCLI? Many reasons...
-
- 1) With WinCLI you are able to run Windows programs by typing
- their name instead of looking for an icon. So if you like the
- functionality of the DOS prompt to start programs, you can now use
- WinCLI to start Windows applications.
-
- 2) A DOS prompt in enhanced mode wastes over 640 Kb all the
- time. Even when if you aren't running a program. That means that
- your wasting precious memory that Windows could otherwise use.
- Even if you create a special PIF that uses only enough memory to
- allow simple file operations (you won't be able to run programs
- because it doesn't have enough memory), you are still wasting over
- 256 Kb. WinCLI requires less than 40 KBytes when fully loaded.
- Less if Windows needs memory for other things.
-
- 3) WinCLI works equally well on all modes of Windows. You don't
- need a 386 to take advantage of this DOS prompt! You can now have
- a complete command line even in standard mode. It also multitasks
- better than Command.com (because WinCLI is a well behaved Windows
- application) so you don't lose precious cycles.
-
- 4) WinCLI is a Windows application so it doesn't have to be manually
- closed when you quit your Windows session. You don't even have to
- type exit (although you can), the close menu works just fine!
-
- 5) WinCLI is very configurable. It supports a scrollable window with
- an adjustable height and width. You can place as many lines as you need
- to see. For example if you want to show a directory listing and then do
- a group of individual deletes, you just scroll up with the cursor keys
- to see the listing, even if it is off the visible portion of the screen!
- The prompt, font, and colors are also adjustable.
-
- 6) WinCLI is easy to use and includes a complete online Help system.
- In order to optain help on a WinCLI command just type Help {Command}
- (where {Command} is the WinCLI command you want help on. Ex: Help Dir)
- at the WinCLI command line or select one of the menus.
-
- 7) Of course you also have all the normal features of a standard
- DOS shell. You can show directories, create subdirectories, rename
- files, delete files, and much, much more!
