Changes from 5.19 to 5.20:
--------------------------

 - ARP-Getenv/Setenv replaced by OS-2.0-GetVar/SetEnv (flags: global & binary)
 - OS 2.0 Includes in shell.h
 - replaced ARP filerequester by ASL filerequester
 - replaced ARP-TackOn by OS-2.0-AddPart:
     a) ignored return value
     b) two times the maximum string length was unknown, used 256L (dummy)
     c) added internal alias "addpart" for command "tackon"
 - replaced ARP-BaseName by OS-2.0-FilePart
 - replaced ARP-Assign by OS-2.0-AssignLock (changed assign-code a little bit)
 - added builtin "chmod" (copied from protect)
 - now using SetFileDate() from dos.library instead of file_date()
 - file_date() removed
 - "touch" now creates a file if not existing (like Unix "touch")
 - "touch" rewritten to use SetFileDate() and Open()
 - replaced ARP-PathName by OS-2.0-NameFromLock
 - replaced ARP-FindCLI(0) by OS-2.0-MaxCli()
 - replaced ARP-FindCLI(num) by OS-2.0-FindCliProc(num)
 - replaced ARP-CompareLock by OS-2.0-SameLock
 - replaced ARP-StamptoStr/StrtoStamp by OS-2.0-DateToStr/StrToDate
    (reversed return-code)
 - new option "-p" (make path) for builtin "mkdir", fixed "minargs" (execom.c)
 - replaced ARP-Strcmp by ANSI-C library stricmp()
 - replaced ARP-Strncmp by ANSI-C library strnicmp()
 - found bug in builtin "dir":
    filenames/directories with >24 chars destroy layout
 - replaced ARP-Atol by ANSI-C library atol(),
    using new isnum() instead of IoErr()
 - replaced ARP's BtoCStr() and CtoBStr() with own routines
 - replaced ARP's GetDADevs() by OS-2.0-LockDosList()
    (juhu, nie wieder NULL: ;-)
 - removed memory leak in drive_name()   (static buffer was too small)
 - removed bug in oneinfo() with ':' in drive names
 - rewritten "do_relabel" so that OS-2.0-Relabel() is used,
    added support for error condition
 - if ErrorCode<500 then using OS-2.0-Fault() instead of internal error table
 - new option "-p" for info (print only drives if disk is present)
 - new mode "6" for oneinfo(), print nothing if disk is not present
 - added verbose flag "-v" to "mv/rename"  (print renamed/moved files),
    handle difference between "moving" (file,dir) und "renaming" (file,file)
 - added force flag "-f" to "mv/rename"  (don't abort on errors)
 - builtin "info" recognizes Kickstart disks, unreadable disks,
    NDOS disks etc.
 - under SAS/C 5.x you must set option "-cm" (multi-char const)
 - changed internal "itok()"  -->  new "info" layout
    (because of the new HD floppy disk drives -- they have 1760 kB, not 2 MB!)
 - changed options of internal "assign" (more AmigaShell compatible)
    a : add path             (CLI: assign ADD)
    d : late-binding assign  (CLI: assign DEFER)
    p : path assign          (CLI: assign PATH)
 - added correct DoPkt() pragma to shell.h
 - added flag "f" (force) to "rm" (= "p" (un-protect)), like Unix!
 - changed "getwindow()" to use DoPkt()
 - changed "do_addbuffers()" to use OS-2.0-AddBuffers()
 - changed "changedisk()" to use DoPkt()
 - changed "setrawcon()" to use DoPkt()
 - finally, eliminated ARP-SendPacket() :-)
 - fixed nasty bug in assign which caused heavy system crashes
    under AmigaOS 3.x

 - Angenommen "minarg" eines builtin command ist 1.  Dieses Kommando hat
   aber auch eine Option.  Ruft man das Kommando ohne was auf, kommt die
   gewohnte Fehlermeldung (template).  Gibt man die Option an, denkt die
   csh, dies waere bereits ein gueltiges Argument...  keine Fehlermeldung,
   obwohl minargs >= 1 gar nicht erfuellt ist (Optionen zaehlen schliess-
   lich nicht als Argumente)

to do:
 - "setrawcon()" should use DOS SetMode() instead of Packets etc.


Additional Changes in 5.20:
---------------------------
 - fixed bug (Enforcer hit) in "cd" (w/o arguments)
 - renamed "datecmp()" to "datecmp_csh()"
    (conflict with <time.h>)
 - renamed "CreatePort()" (ARP) to "CreatePort_ARP()"
    (conflict with <clib/alib_protos.h>)
 - renamed "DeletePort()" (ARP) to "DeletePort_ARP()"
    (conflict with <clib/alib_protos.h>)
 - "chkabort()" replaced by "__chkabort()"
 - some minor changes in "shell.h"
 - removed "findpart" (which was an internal alias to basename)
    to avoid (very confusing) conflict with "find" (from SKsh)



More Changes (beta versions 5.20-5.25)
--------------------------------------
 - removed CLI options -r, -i0  (obsolete)
 - removed ARP residents, now CSH uses dos.library's residents
 - replaced DosAllocMem()/DosFreeMem() from ARP with own routines
 - changed handling of DISABLED internals (see AmigaMail II-65)
 - added Forbid()/Permit() to "path"
 - added option -s (stack) to "ps"
 - removed bug in array-size (was too small) for localized date strings
 - removed bug "object already in use" for renaming a directory to itself
 - new option -s (short) for "stack"
 - internal command "aset" gone with ARP :-)
 - new setting "%L" for internal command "dir"
 - CSH now detects if other programs change current directory
 - new setting "%V" (volume) for prompt/titlebar
 - "!pattern" is now expanded to "!(pattern)"
    (for compatibility with old ARP-patterns)
 - CTRL-D from prompt even works if user has aliased "dir" to something else
 - if pattern is not expandable the complete command line is aborted
 - fixed nasty memory bug with path comparison in do_dir()

Csh 5.26
--------
 - new "edit function" for keymaps: 17, clear screen and refresh current line
    (e.g. "keymap 0 12=17" assigns that function to CTRL+L like in Unix tcsh)
 - fixed serious pattern matching bug
    (string was modified so that other functions like "search" failed)
 - new function "@stricmp" (case-insensitive @strcmp ;-)
 - new option "-g" (global) for path: add path(es) to all CLI processes,
    or (with option "-r") clear path of all CLI processes

Csh 5.27
--------
 - fixed minor bug in "info"  (sometimes output of devices w/o fs)
    and other commands (with similar code for fs-detection)
 - rewritten "info", added Busy-detection (eg, when formatting a disk)
 - new variable "_clipri" sets priority while editing command line
 - print break message ("^C") only once
    [Gary Duncan]
 - easier access to arguments in scripts via $0, $1 etc,
    total number of args is in $#  ($_passed is still valid)
    [Gary Duncan]
 - sorted output for:  info, assign, resident (user-residents only)
 - new option "-f" for "help" shows functions also
 - added "MAKELINK" section to manual (csh.doc)
 - enhanced quoting mechanism for filename completion
 - new functions @filedate, @filenote and @hextodec
    [Gary Duncan]
 - re-enabled old "assign" options -l and -n for compatibility

Csh 5.28
--------
 - some changes in "strings" and atoi()-error-handling
    [Gary Duncan]
 - new option "-v" (verbose) for rm/delete
    (there's no output when using wildcards if one has an alias for
     rm/delete, so this is a klugde to re-enable output :)
 - YEAH!! FIRST TIME IN HISTORY...  Cshell now calculates
    "Disk size" and "Percent full" in the right way !!
    ("info" command and others)
    [Rodney Hester]
 - kludge for leading spaces in date-strings (Locale bug)
 - "menu" code rewritten, now using GadTools menus

Csh 5.29
--------
 - removed debug output from "menu" command
 - the "Disk size" in 5.28 was right but the rounding was wrong
 - raised limits for max. menus (16) and menu items (32)
 - local variables are now accessable via "$varname" as well
    as global variables (this was a bug in previous 5.2x versions),
    if no internal variable "varname" exists
 - fixed enforcer hit when using backticks (`<command>`) without
    a leading command
    [[e-mail]]
 - new internal variable "_dirformat", now you can specify additional
    options after "-z" (w/o formatting string)
 - new option -m for "menu" command installs menus with monospaced
    font (System Default Font) instead of Intuition Font (may be
    proportional)... necessary for user-formatted menus
 - updated manual entry for "info"
 - fixed some more atoierr-bugs (caused various problems)
 - fixed overflow bug (32 bit long int) in "info" (and related functions)
 - new internal alias "grep" for "search"
    [Rodney Hester]

Csh 5.30
--------
 - new variable "_nomatch", set it if you want that Cshell aborts
    command execution if pattern doesn't match
    [Kurt Haenen]
 - command searching is now interruptable (again?)
    [Kurt Haenen]
 - internal addbuffers now behaves more like AmigaDOS' addbuffers
 - fixed two bugs in @confirm(): missing fflush() + Enforcer hit
    [Manuel Fischer]
 - new function @ask, very similar to @confirm
 - made source compilable with 2.0 includes
 - head/tail/strings/htype now accept input from stdin
 - set/alias now print control chars with '^' and fixed bug in scrolling
    [Carsten Heyl]
 - removed cursor positioning bug when using CTRL-D in the middle
    of a line
 - now "rm" (or delete) does not abort if one file cannot be deleted
    or does not exist, meaning of option "-q" changed (opposite)

Csh 5.31
--------
 - fixed small bug (introduced in 5.30) in "dir" with empty directories
 - internal alias "grep" (for "search") removed
 - fixed some minor bugs in menu handling code
 - stack increased to 15000 for for max. menus (31 menus, 63 items each)
 - _nomatch set by default

Csh 5.32
--------
 - removed confusing "No match" output in "dir" command
 - new "edit function" for keymaps: 29, insert last word of previous line
    (e.g. "keymap 0 12=29" assigns that function to CTRL+L)
