Description:
ZShell is a small (34K), fast and powerful Shell with many (66)
built-in commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C:
directory (like LIST, COPY etc.) which saves disk space and
reduces disk accesses. There is NO way around ZShell for those
who do not have a hard disk or still have Kickstart 1.2/1.3 !
But it is very useful for those with a better Kickstart and/or
hard disk, too, because for example it has powerful editing &
history, filename completion, pipes, review buffer, some
Kickstart 2.0/3.0 specific features and a lovely LIST command.
I have tried to make ZShell compatible to the standard shell, not
just another UN*X shell clone, but with some features known from
UN*X shells. I especially have taken care that it is easy to use.
ZShell is very useful for programmers, because it has things like
showing EXEC-lists and the task list, memory dumping and other
things you usually find in debuggers.
You can switch off the internal command-line-editor to use
ZShell with console handlers like KingCON.
