Well, Shell 2.02A (for Manx) was sent to .sources so stay tuned.
- It has all the new functionality of Matts 2.03A, but modified and added
features for Manx C.
- I've also supplied a separate makefile that patches shell for use
under 1.2 workbench. We all know how fexec function dies under 1.2
well using Matt's sr program (manxified & supplied with this makefile)
we twiddle a few bits of the executable to make fexecv come back to life.
- The next version I will send out (I'm debugging it now) will have an
additional module (console.c) which changes the console to raw input
while entering commands and allows for FULL COMMAND LINE EDITING and
command line recall. The same as VMS except that my version allows inserting
and editing throughout the entire 255 possible char command line not
just the current cursor line. Also all the function keys can be defined
as any command line sequence. Of course these features are due to
the new abilities of the console device under 1.2 and would therefore
not work under 1.1. If there is enough demand I can provide the
binaries for this version, for those that don't have Manx.

Another suggestion.... add a version of setfont in it... This
way you can default to your favorite (read small) font. Have an
option -f that will give the font name ...
shell -f topaz.5

(besides, without the ability to grey-scale fonts, a 5-high font would be unreadable.) -Matt
