About Oberon Software
---------------------
Oberon Software has been involved in the creation of OS/2 related
products and services since 1988. Founded by Brady Flowers, Oberon
Software (named for the character in Shakespeare's "A Mid-Summer
Night's Dream") is committed to enhancing the software base for the
ever growing community of OS/2 users and to helping foster the growth
and acceptance of OS/2 as the next generation in operating systems
for personal computers and workstations.
Oberon products are generally marketed as shareware to keep
marketing overhead to a minimum. The savings can then be devoted to
further development and enhancements and customer service. Please,
support the shareware concept by registering the shareware products
which you use and by passing them along to others for their
inspection.
In addition to this program, Oberon Software offers several other
products and services and services which you may find interesting and
useful. Please read on for more details.
TE/2
----
The Oberon Terminal Emulator/2, or TE/2, is Oberon Software's full
featured, easy to use, general purpose telecommunications program for
OS/2. Developed originally for OS/2 1.1, it was one the very first
such programs written specifically to take advantage of the power and
capabilities of OS/2. As OS/2 has grown, so has TE/2. It is now one
of the most popular and widely recommended telecommunications
programs for OS/2!
TE/2's features include:
* One of the most complete script languages to be found in any
telecomm program anywhere
* REXX/2 as a fully supported, optional script language
* Extensive facility for running external programs and protocols
* Multiple, 200 entry dialing directories
* Call logging
* Split screen chat mode
* 48 Assignable function keys
* Free technical support via the Oberon BBS!
TE/2 includes these file transfer protocols:
* XModem and XModem-1K
* YModem and YModem-G
* ZModem with automatic start-up and resume
* CompuServe(tm) B-Plus protocol
* Ascii file upload and capture
Supported terminal emulations include:
* Standard TTY (teletype) mode
* ANSI-BBS and enhanced ANSI
* VT100 (with VT102 and VT220 extensions)
* IBM 3101
Call, write, or FAX Oberon Software for more information on TE/2.
FSHL
----
FSHL, \ef' shel\ n. [Flowers' shell, named for Brady Flowers,
software designer during the late 20th century]: a program which
greatly enhances the power a user has when working at the OS/2
command prompt by adding aliases and macros, enhanced and extended
command line recall and editing functions, extended command set,
enhanced batch language, and provisions for user-created extensions.
FSHL, Oberon Software's Alternative Command Line Executive for
OS/2, layers itself over the default OS/2 command line interpreter,
CMD.EXE, to provide the user with all of these extended services
without sacrificing access to OS/2's base level functionality!
These are just some of the features of FSHL:
* FSHL aliases allow the user to replace often typed, hard to type,
or hard to remember commands with any other command of their
preference.
* Full featured command line editor adds features to the OS/2 command
prompt similar to those found in word processing programs.
* Recall previously typed commands:
- One at a time
- By matching a partially typed command
- By selection from a list
* Extends the OS/2 batch language to allow access to FSHL's aliases
and history.
* Dynamic pseudo environment variables to access system
information such as the time and date, errorlevels, and window state.
* New built-in commands like:
- "Sweep" to execute a given command over an entire directory tree.
- "Window" to control the OS/2 text mode window in which FSHL is
running from the command line or a batch file.
- "Prty" to adjust the OS/2 priority at which a program will run.
- And lots more!
* Extended options on existing OS/2 commands.
* All 48 function keys programmable as text macros.
* Two separate, powerful programming APIs allow third party developers
to extend the basic FSHL command set and to allow applications to call
back into FSHL to access its services.
* Free technical support via the Oberon BBS!
