Short: CLI with REAL pipes and TAB-FNCompletion Kurz: Einfach zu benutzende Shell mit Pipes Type: util/shell Replaces: util/shell/zshell25.lha Uploader: uj3w@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Martin Gierich) Author: Paul Hayter, Martin Gierich Version: 2.7 Price: Free Requires: Nothing For those who never read documents: Please read at least the small chapter in the documentation called "For Those Who Never Read The Whole Documentation". New since V2.5: * Anonymous pipes. You can choose between real and pseudo pipes. * Filename Completion buffers contents of the directory (-> faster) and allows cycling through the contents (-> easier to use). * RUN command improved * New command: SPLIT * Even more localized * 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 32K 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 window on own screen * Wild cards and recursive processing. * Real RUN and NEWCLI command that reenters ZShell quickly. * Application-Window/-Icon * 100% script compatibility * Can create and show HARD- and SOFTLINKS. * DIR and LIST both sort (by default) and show file sizes. Description: ZShell is a small (32K), 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. It tries to be AmigaDOS compatible, not just another UN*X shell clone. The compatibility is, of course, not 100%, if you need that use the standard AmigaDOS Shell. So ZShell has some differences, that give the special feeling of it. I tried to make using ZShell as easy as possible without reducing its power. 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. NOTE: The source code is available on Aminet in the archive util/shell/ZShell27src.lha
