- Hamilton C shell is a much more powerful alternative to the standard
- MS-DOS command window on Chicago and Windows NT and comes with virtually
- all the day-to-day utilities most folks will ever need. Careful attention
- has been paid to making this the best possible product on Chicago and
- Windows NT. For example, even though it certainly provides all the
- power (and much more!) of the original UNIX C shell, this is not simply
- a cosmetic attempt to make Chicago or Windows NT look more like Unix.
-
- Price, including shipping by air, is $350 in the U.S., $365 in Canada
- or Mexico or $395 elsewhere. On quantity 5 or more, there is a 5%
- discound. We accept purchase orders from most U.S. organizations of
- recognized credit; international orders must be prepaid in U.S. dollars.
- We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards, bank
- wires and checks drawn on a U.S. bank
-
- Except for the addition of demo.exe, and the doc directory (containing
- the ASCII text and Postscript versions of the User Guide and other
- materials) and this readme.1st file, the layout you see, including even
- the detailed release notes in readme.too, is just what you'd see in the
- actual product version.
-
- The shell and all the utilities have been crippled so they'll expire
- on August 31, 1994. After that, if you want to continue using the
- product, you'll have to buy a copy. Also, an annoying "nagware" message
- has been added to C shell itself so it'll remind you each time it starts
- up that if you like the product, we hope you'll buy it. Other than
- that, the entire product is fully functional.
-
- The samples directory contains a number of sample C programs and C shell
- scripts which we hope you'll find helpful in experimenting with the C
- shell.
-
- It is not necessary to actually install this package onto your hard disk
- to try it out. Simply type "demo" and you're off and running!
-
- If you have questions or would like to place an order, we'd love to
- hear from you!
