- TITLE: SKsh
- VERSION: 2.1
- AUTHOR: Steve Koren
-
- DESCRIPTION: (SKsh is a Unix ksh-like shell which runs under AmigaDos.
- it provides a Unix like environment but supports many
- AmigaDos features such as resident commands, ARexx, etc.
- Scripts can be written to run under either ksh or SKsh,
- and many of the useful Unix commands such as xargs, grep,
- find, etc. are provided. For quite a while it was the
- only AmigaDos shell which provided an environment similar
- to Unix, but now there are two other unrelated projects to
- port the actual Unix ksh to AmigaDos).
-
- Version 2.1 supports the following new features:
-
- * True pipes between internal and external commands, and
- even shell functions or aliases.
- * Background shell control structures without needing to
- invoke another SKsh.
- * Several new commands and utilities.
- * Cross filesystem moves of files and directories.
- * Enforcer cleanliness.
- * AmigaDos 3.0 compatibility.
- * Bug fixes.
- * More...
-
- REQUIREMENTS: Version 2.1 of SKsh requires AmigaDos 2.04 or later and a
- hard disk. There is about 1.2 Mb of stuff to install, much
- of which is optional.
-
- PRICE: US$0.00
-
- DISTRIBUTION: Copyrighted freeware. I won't email it, so don't ask.
- It will be available from Fish disks or the FTP sites below.
