- If you are used to Unix, get SKSH for your amiga. It gives you a
- whole Unix environment for your amiga. There is also CSH but it
- is nothing like Unix at all (the shell is way different, the
- commands are different, the syntax is different), but CSH is
- closer to AmigaDos than SKSH is. But SKSH has more features and
- gets them sooner (and doesn't use ARP) and has better docs. You
- get your pick. Or get both.
-
- There is also pdksh, but SKSH is much better integrated with the
- AmigaDos environment.
-
- Anyway, for Unix-heads, SKSH 2.1 is the *only* way to go. I only
- wish the vi mode was a little better...
-
- Also, maybe WShell allows "cd ..", I don't know. Its not very expensive.
