Type: util/shell
Author: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
DESCRIPTION
C-Shell is a replacement for the AmigaDOS command line interface.
Many builtin Unix-like commands, very fast script language, file-
name completion, command-name completion, comfortable command line
editing, pattern matching, AUX: mode, object oriented file classes,
abbreviation of internal and external commands. Supports multiple
users.
C-Shell is easy to install and to use. Online help for all
commands, functions and various subjects. ARP-free!
NEW FEATURES
Changes since version 5.40 (summary):
- Minor changes in documentation.
- Built-in command "window" doesn't clear screen anymore.
If you want to clear screen, use "echo -n ^[c^O" or "echo -n ^L".
- Fixed timer bug in _prompt (%e) if start and end time of a program
were not at the same day. (wrong execution time was displayed)
- New built-in variable "_promptdep" (prompt path depth) and new
placeholder "%P" for built-in variable "_prompt". Like "%p", "%P"
displays the current path. With "_promptdep" the user sets the
maximum number of directories (path parts) displayed for %P (to
keep prompt smart and short). Default is 3.
- New built-in variable "_complete" (DOS pattern). What files should
match on filename completion. Default is "*". For example, if you
don't want to see files ending with ".bak", set it to "~(*.bak)".
- Changed output format of built-in command "mem" (for option -r)
a little bit.
- Fixed various bugs in built-in command "window". The changes for
5.40 caused an unnecessary usage message when using options -f,
-b and -a. And options -l and -s didn't work at all. The checking
for maximum window dimensions are not hardcoded any more but
dynamically adjusted to the screen dimensions.
- Finally found (and fixed) rounding bug in "itok()", caused display
of wrong size for memory or harddisk around 1 GB and 1 TB etc.
Numbers were rounded down to "0 GB" and "0 TB" instead of rounded
up to "1 GB" and "1 TB".
