- This package contains the binaries and the formatted manualpages for
- seventeen AmigaDOS Shell commands for System Release 2.04 or better.
- The package is released under the terms of the GNU General Public
- Licence. The full source is available in the archive ExtraCmds21p.lha,
- which also contains the contents of this archive, that is intended for
- those who don't give a damn about source code :-)

- This is the third public release; the previous ones where on Fish
- Disks. The difference between this release and the last one I sent to
- Fred Fish, is the addition of Unix-style manual pages formatted with
- groff. The programs are unchanged, except that support for the SCD
- command has been discontinued and as a result it is no longer part of
- the ExtraCmds package. The first release, available on Fish Disk 774,
- should be considered an obsolete beta release. The programs in the two
- newest releases are much more powerful.
-
- This release contains the following Shell commands:
-
- o Common reports lines common to two files.
- o Compare compares two files,
- o Concat concatenates and prints files.
- o Copyright prints embedded messages.
- o Count counts chars, words, and lines.
- o Dirtree prints directory trees
- o Find is a very powerful Swiss Army Knife style file finder
- with an ARexx interface. It is very similar to Unix find.
- o Head prints the first lines of files.
- o Lower runs a command at another priority.
- o Prepare extracts words from text files.
- o Split cuts a file to pieces.
- o Splitname does just that.
- o Tee is a pipe fitting.
- o Testbits is for use in scripts.
- o Timecom times a command.
- o Unique removes copies of identical lines.
- o Usage shows the space used by directories.
-
- Installation is easy: Just copy the executables to somewhere in your
- path and, optionally, the #?.man files in doc/ to whereever you keep
- your man files.
-
- Ideas for additions to ExtraCmds include commands equivalent to Unix
- pr, cut, paste, tail, and xargs. The last one will be a nice companion
- to Find. The existing commands will continue to evolve too.
-
- If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to send them to me,
- either by email or snail mail.
