- Important: Please Read This First!
-
- This archive contains a *beta* version of Ash, a shell for the
- Amiga which is similar to Unix ksh. I am calling this a beta
- version because it has not been distributed publically, and
- first releases often contain bugs which haven't been found.
-
- Ash is probably not as powerful as ARexx, but I think it will
- still be very useful. It provides a number of things that
- other Amiga shells do not. Perhaps in a future release I will
- provide an ARexx interface to Ash. In any case, I hope it
- will be useful to Unix users who wish to have a similar
- environment on the Amiga. Unix provides many many things that
- Ash does not, but Ash comes closer than most other Amiga
- shells.
-
- Please understand that since the final code is likely to
- change somewhat after the first release, absolutely anything
- you read here is also subject to change.
-
