Does anyone know a good c-shell-alike to PCs ? I know already the MKS-Toolkit, but that's a korn-shell-alike.. --Kauto -- ****************** Kauto Huopio (huopio@kannel.lut.fi) ********************** *US Mail: Kauto Huopio, Punkkerikatu 1 A 10, SF-53850 Lappeenranta, Finland * *Project: Learn some GNU Emacs first.. :-) * *****************************************************************************

It works like C-shell but I do not know how good it is. What I tried was : ls ls -l !! cat filename | more history !3 The above all worked. What it did not work : cit filename | more ^i^a^ /* change i to a in a previous command */ I do not know whether shell script will work or not. Woochang Jin wjin@cs.purdue.edu

I saw an ad some months ago in the back of Dr. Dobbs Journal from a little one-man outfit somewhere in Iowa advertising a full C-shell for DOS for fifty bucks. I have no other information on this one. I am using Allen Holub's "unix-like shell", which is available for around forty bucks from M&T Publishing (publishers of DDJ). The package includes not only a good-sized book about the shell, usage and design, but also full source. This is NOT a csh clone, but was inspired by it, and inclujdes many of the same kinds of features, including aliases and history, and a much better script language than DOS's standard one (but NOT csh compatible). I find that it is sufficiently unix-like as to make DOS a much less unfriendly environment. Fred
