/* readme - this is the readme file of the MlRxShl package 971231 */
MlRxShl provides tools which improve the command-line environment. But
it's NOT another cmd.exe replacement.
The following text describes the content of this package, and what
features it provides.
This package contains the following files:
cmdshl.cmd -- the command shell front end.
df.cmd -- an Unix-like DF command.
file_id.diz -- a short description used by BBS.
fl.cmd -- a filelist-like file manager.
fl.hlp -- the fl.cmd online help.
less.cmd -- a better more.
mlrxshl.inf -- the complete documentation.
mlrxshl0.ipf -- the documentation header source code.
mlrxshl0.inf -- the documentation header.
popd.cmd -- a 'pop dir' command.
profile.fl -- a FL profile sample.
profile.shl -- a CMDSHL profile sample.
profile1.shl -- a commented version of PROFILE.SHL.
pushd.cmd -- a 'push dir' command.
query.cmd -- extracts various information from %ETC%\connect.log
readme -- this file!
rexxvio.dll -- the text-mode interface for REXX.
sdir.cmd -- puts some colors in your directory listings.
whence.cmd -- find a file along a path (PATH by default).
FEATURES:
=========
The five provided tools are completely independent.
CmdShl
------
CmdShl is a command interpreter front-end. It provides improved
editing commands, alias, filename completion, ...
It can use cmd.exe, 4os2.exe or any other command interpreter which
provides a Rexx environment.
Fl.cmd
------
Fl is yet another character-mode file manager. It mimics the
features of FILELIST.
less.cmd
--------
Less is (yet another) better more. This one can act as a filter or
as a command, allows horizontal and vertical scrolling, can locate
specific text strings, ..., and, most of all, has a much faster
display speed than more.exe.
And less.cmd is so small (less than 2Kb :-)...
SDir.cmd
--------
SDir is a drop-in replacement for the default DIR command. It
provides user-definable highlighting.
Query.cmd
---------
QUERY is a command used to extract various data. It is especially
useful if you are using Ultimedia Mail/Lite as your mail reader or
IBM Global Network as your Internet provider. It was created to
simply obtain data that were concealed or not otherwise directly
available.
INSTALLATION:
=============
Unpack the archive in a temporary directory and read the online help
for details on how to install the features you are interested in by
issuing the following command:
