Short: C-Shell (csh) 5.50, CLI replacement
Author: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz)
Type: util/shell
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 5.48 (summary):
- Warns if an executed program changed the priority of the
current task or the signal state shows unreleased signals.
- Fast successive calls to built-in function @rnd(0) more accurate,
seed is more "random" now.
- Built-in function @rnd, when called with seed=0 to build seed
value from current time-stamp, now always builds unique seed
value on every call.
- New built-in function: @mktemp. Returns a unique temporary file
name of form T:tmpXXXXXXXX, or just tmpXXXXXXXX if T: does not
exist. [thanks to Gary Duncan for source code]
- Built-in command now handles binary files properly, so it's
possible to use "cat file1 file2 >file3" to join files like
under UNIX. But note, that the built-in command "join" is
much more faster.
- Some minor enhancements and bug fixes.
Changes since version 5.42 (summary):
- Redirected output to a file can now be examined by other programs
while Cshell is still filling up the file. (files for redirection
are now opened "shared" instead of "exclusivly")
- Enhanced pipe functionality. Made "echo mem | csh" work again.
- Built-in command "copy" now has (optional) new output format which
prints full path of files being copied. (just try option "-x")
- Built-in commands "chown" and "chgrp" now accept also user and group
names (as well as numerical IDs). Does only work with "MultiUser".
- Built-in command "window" resizes/moves window much more faster now.
- Built-in command "version" now behaves more like Commodore's
command "version".
See file "HISTORY" in archive csh550.lha for complete listing
of changes and new features.
