Gentle User:
This file contains the revision history of the Still River
Shell's Release 2.
RELEASE 2.36 changes:
- Modifies tag logic: a file's tag is removed after a tag
sensitive operation completes against the tagged file.
- Adds a new TAG subcommand: PRIOR. The PRIOR command
reestablishes the tags that existed prior to the last tag
sensitive command's execution. PRIOR is available as a TAG
subcommand, <P>, as well as a "Hidden TAG" command,
<ALT>+<P>.
- Restores the Shell's Release 1.nn XDOS command line
positioning: the DOS command line always appears at the
Shell's command line input position near the bottom of the
screen rather than where each completing program happens to
leave it.
- Increases the diskette based documentation to include a
general description of the syntax, features and operational
characteristics of the Shell's commands.
RELEASE 2.24 changes to SR 1.82:
- Adds ATTRibute command to change file attributes.
- Adds TAG commands to the system which can tag, untag and
reverse tag individual files, selected ranges of files,
lists of files either in one directory, a list of
directories or system wide.
- Adds hidden global TAG commands (<ALT>+<F>or<G>or<D> plus a
quick flip tag, <SPACE_BAR>, which work in command selection
mode on both LIST and FIND presentations.
- COPY, DELETE and MOVE work with a set of tagged files,
- 1 -
- Function Keys now execute for each tagged file if you tag
files.
- XDOS supports an Ad Hoc batch execution against a set of
tagged files with replaceable parameters in the command
line.
- Adds a new replaceable <shell_state> parameter, <%6>, for
use in an Ad Hoc batch executed XDOS command line which can
be used in place of <%4.%5>.
- Adds a file text search option to FIND.
- Adds a /v option to FIND which drops you into VIEW when you
find a file; then, you decide whether to add to the found
file to the FIND list or not.
- Adds FIND to VIEW.
- Adds HEX mode to VIEW including HEX FIND.
- TREE now supports full directory tree for selected
directory. If you use (\), a directory tree of the entire
disk is displayed.
- Adds UP command to TREE.
- Adds directory summary information for all directories and
subdirectories in TREE.
- <Fn> and XDOS now use a rapid context restore facility to
restore FIND and LIST lists when they return from DOS.
There is also a flash restore option which is even faster.
- Adds a full path insert to the command line edit.
- Access is provided to hidden and system files with query
safeguards.
- Eliminates keywords from Shell's start-up command line.
- Pitch comes up only once a day, once or twice a month.
- OPTIONS uses an option editor, stored configuration file and
adds the following options:
* <selector> placement after SORT.
* Real time color usage selection.
* Monochrome display attributes.
- 2 -
* Memory usage display.
* Initial sort criteria.
* Case conversion.
* XDOS and <Fn> batch execution against tagged files.
* Query during batch execution.
* Foreign language character display in VIEW.
* Context recovery technique.
* VIEW tab value.
* Existing target file protection.
- Speed has improved.
- Frees more memory when executing programs under DOS.
- Manual is rewritten, expanded and now wire bound instead of
three hole punched.
- Alas, the shell is no longer a light weight at 92K + 20K
minimum work space.
Thank you for your interest in the Still River Shell.
Sincerely,
Bill White
