AKCC_Shell V3.5
- part of AKCC (SHAREWARE) -
⌐ 1990-94 by Andreas R. Kleinert. All rights reserved.
This program was written under OS V3.00 and is therefore
fully compatible. It needs OS V1.2+.
Release Date : 25.07.1994
Distribution :
==============
This tool is part of AKCC (SHAREWARE).
Distribution conditions are the same as for AKCC V3.5.
Function :
==========
AKCC_Shell is a small, comfortable shell, which especially has been
designed for users of OS V1.2/1.3, although it also runs fine under
OS V2.04+.
It gives you e.g. the possibility of using the WildCard "*" as if it were
"#?". This works with each command.
Also setting of SearchPaths like under Dos is possible, although both
methods are _not_ compatible.
Correspondence :
================
If you like, you may send me some money. Perhaps this will motivate me
to continue programming such programs or just making updates of
this one. Send bug-reports, money or whatever to :
Andreas R. Kleinert,
Grube Hohe Grethe 23,

Germany.
