Short: A fast, small and powerful SHELL.
Type: util/shell
Uploader: uj3w@ibm3090.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de  (Martin Gierich)

Version: ZShell V2.1 (11.12.94)
Author: Paul Hayter & Martin Gierich
Requirements: Just an Amiga

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. Try to type
  'HELP HISTORY' to see how command line editing works. Execute the example
  startup file 'ZStart' or put it into the S: drawer.

Some of the features:
* Freeware, no payment required.
* Usage is similar (or better) to the standard AmigaDOS shell.
* Supports the standard housekeeping commands which are builtin,
  so no disk access is necessary.
  eg. list, dir, cd, rename, makedir, delete, copy, path, info, type
* A total of 64 builtin commands.
* About 26K small (pure assembler code, source included).
* Starting from Workbench or CLI/Shell possible.
* Filenamecompletion by simply pressing TAB.
* Review-buffer to see what scrolled out of the window.
* Command line editing better than KS2.0 .
* Command and Function key aliasing.
* DIR and LIST both sort (by default) and show filesize.
* Simple 'MORE' type text viewer.
* Some commands and features for debugging system/programs.
* Online HELP function and documentation with examples.
* Has a kind of Memory-Clock with alarm.
* Colourful output, can be reduced to one colour.

Description:
  ZShell is a small (26K), fast and powerful SHELL with many (64) 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 1.2/1.3 . But it is useful for those with a better
  Kickstart and/or harddisk, too, because for example it has powerful
  editing & history, filenamecompletion, review buffer 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. )
