SHORT: ZShell is a fast, small and powerful SHELL. VERSION: 2.0 DATE: 16.06.94 AUTHOR: Paul Hayter & Martin Gierich EMAIL: uj3w@ibm3090.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Martin) COPYING: Freely distributable SOURCE: Including assembler-source REQUIREMENTS: Just an Amiga KICKSTART: Tested with Kickstart 1.3 , 2.04 and 3.0 For those who never read documents: Start the file called ZShell from Workbench or CLI (SHELL), or even better: Put the file ZShell in the C: directory and start the file ZSH. Now press the HELP key. Among lots of other information you see 'TYPE HELP ? ...'. Make sure that ZShell.doc is in the current directory and try that. You will see how to use the ONLINE HELP. Description: ZShell is a small (25K), fast and powerful SHELL with many (63) builtin commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C: directory what effects in saving disk space and reducing disk accesses. There is no way around ZShell for those who do not have a harddisk or still have Kickstart 1.3 (go an upgrade, it is worth it !). But it is useful for those with a better Kickstart and/or harddisk, too, because for example it has powerful editing & history, filenamecompletion, online help, aliases, features for debugging programs and a lovely LIST, DIR and INFO command (very sensible ones !). I tried to made usage similar to the AmigaDOS Shell for easy using. Note: This is an update to Version 1.3 on the Fish Library Disk 537 from Paul Hayter. I (Martin) tried to ask him for permission to release this, but he has not answered. Because it is still Freeware and the original executable with documentation is included, I do not think that I am doing something nasty. ( In the original distribution there was the source code included but there was nothing stated about changing the source. )
