Short: CLI with REAL pipes and TAB-FNCompletion Author: Paul Hayter, Martin Gierich Uploader: uj3w@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Martin Gierich) Version: 2.8 Type: util/shell Kurz: Einfach zu benutzende Shell mit Pipes Replaces: util/shell/ZShell27.lha Requires: Nothing Price: Free New since V2.7: * Filename Completion improved * Commandline parser improved * Lots of bugfixes Features: * Freeware, no payment required ! * Usage is similar (or better) to the standard AmigaDOS shell. * Has 66 built-in commands including all often needed commands, so no disk access is necessary. eg. list, dir, cd, assign, delete, copy, move, path, info, type * About 34K small (pure assembler code) * Starting from Workbench (!) or CLI. No installation needed. * ANONYMOUS PIPES. You can choose between real and pseudo pipes. * Fast FILENAME COMPLETION by simply pressing TAB; shows all matches. * REVIEW buffer to see again what scrolled out of the window. * Some commands and debugging features for PROGRAMMERS. * ONLINE HELP function and AmigaGuide documentation with examples. * Support of OS2.0+ and OS3.0+ specific stuff. * LOCALIZED using standard shell's catalog file. * Can open its own screen * Wild cards and recursive processing. * Real RUN and NEWCLI command that reenters ZShell quickly. * Application-Window/-Icon * 100% script compatibility * DIR and LIST both sort (by default) and show file sizes. 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.
