Sorry. I made a mistake when I said Gulam was not reading * properly I meant the \ of course. The problem is due to the UK & US keyboard differences. I have since edited my copy of Gulam using a file editor. The following changes have to be made to the program in the UK (US users might like to note these modifications too):- OFFSET CHANGE TO ------ ------ -- $135F9 $5C \ $23 # $1362E $00 $5C \ $13651 $40 @ $22 " $13652 $23 # $9C pound sign (ignored by Gulam anyway) $13679 $7C | $7E ~ $136AE $00 $7C | $136F9 $5C \ $23 # $1372E $00 $5C \ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I think all right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I have been using Gulam to execute outside commands from within my STadel BBS, however, when I EXIT Gulam and return to the BBS, my cursor disappears, not to be seen again unless I reboot the BBS or go back to Gulam (in which case it disappears again when I EXIT). Any ideas as to why this happens or what I can do to fix it? I really miss my cursor. -Holly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beware of Quantum Ducks! Quark!

A few days ago, I sent the beta release of Gulam shell to turner@daisy.
He will be posting it to the net soon. To help you decide if you care
to save the uuencoded archives, here is a short description of the
present state of Gulam.
Gulam is a shell written and copyrighted by pm@mandril.cwru.edu; it
is (and will be) distributed free of charge. It is not warranteed; on
the other hand, I and many others find the present implementation
eminently useable, and indeed use it all the time, in preference to
other shells.
The present beta-version (dated Nov 1987) is a result of fixing bugs,
internal code improvements, and user-visible improvements. Gulam.prg
is about 88200 bytes, and gulam.doc is about 78000 bytes. Users are
encouraged to tell me both good and bad things about this program.
Here is a list (complete?) of things new and/or diffrent from the
alpha-version.
1. the bugs causing memory-lossage have been fixed.
2. an application program can now call one of *Gulam*'s routines
that is equivalent to system() call.
3. an application program can now call one of *Gulam*'s routines
that can receive keyboard input from the user, with all the facilities of
`ue', and return the line input by the user.
4. `ue' can now insert-file.
5. stdout append-redirection (`>>') is now implemented.
6. a new sub-word consisting of three dots `...' expands to the list
of all filenames rooted at the current or given directory.
7. doing a `set path <path-list>' will also cause an automatic
`setenv PATH <path-list> ; rehash'.
8. `ue' can now fill-paragraph.
9. new shell variable `verbosity' controls how silent *Gulam* is.
10. cp will not copy directories and their contents unless
given the `-r' flag.
11. `ue' can now use mouse movements as cursor
movements (see mscursor).
12. diskettes can be formatted (single/double-sided) in TOS standard way.
13. the command mem can not only report the GEMDOS free-list but also the list
of GEMDOS Malloc-ated chunks.
14. shaded background on the screen is provided for the `gem' command.
15. the keypad keys can be toggled to become numeric
or extra-function keys.
16. there are 3 separate key-bindings for the one *gulam* buffer, and
the one *mini* buffer, and all the regular buffers.

Greetings: I have been reading the net for a few weeks now and would like to get some information on Gulam. I am assuming this is some sort of shell but I don't really know. One person on the net stated gulam has commands like mv, df, and time. I use BSD 4.3 at work and that got my attention quickly. Is gulam similiar to 4.3 or am I hallucinating? Is it public domain and where do I get a copy? Any information would be appreciated!

Has anyone had a problem with use of IBM formatted floppies with gulam? If I format a floppy on our Zenith portables at work and copy files/directories to it, GEM will recognize the directories and their contents but gulam will not let me cd into the directories. Any suggestions?

Just now, on the ST, I typed the two commands: help > tt sx tt # to upload to the unix system (built in x-modem Not everything behaves exactly the same on Gulam. Prof. Mateti, the author, has some ideas about consistency of syntax. For example, In 4.3BSD csh In Gulam setenv aaa "hi there" setenv aaa "hi there" set bbb = "hi there" set bbb "hi there" echo $aaa $bbb echo $aaa $bbb It also has something called "ue" which is some flavor of micro-emacs. It is NOT un*x, but it is a simple, expanding shell done in that spirit. The electronic address for P.Mateti shows below, but the shell is available from a number of bulletin boards, and from LISTSERV@CANADA01.bitnet. Here is the file "tt". ----------------------------------------------------------------------- beta-test version 1.00.00.00 101887 of yet another shell for atariST (non-profit redistribution is permitted) /gulam.

I wish to use the error codes passed back from a program.. I wish to run this program from gulam and want to know how I can do it? Someone who runs a STadel bbs could send me a copy of their batch files if using cgulam.. I KNOW that works.. Or could somweone send me a small shell that can handle error codes passed to it? I am using it to run my bbs so I need something solid. elixir@m-net.UUCP

I'm using Gulam V1.03.04.05 (UK) and am having trouble redefining ue keys, according to the manual I should be able to redefine the keypad keys using the "kb -r" command, however when I try I just get messages to the effect "no more room" ? Anyone have any ideas ? Have I misunderstood the manual ? (probably :-)) Francis Stevens stevens@prl.philips.co.uk

Can anyone tell me if Gulam is PD, shareware or commercial ? I heard it comes from GNU. Is it true ? If it is PD or shareware, where can i get it (ftp site) ? Thanks, Andre April Universite Catholique de Louvain Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) e-mail: aa@info.ucl.ac.be

What is the newest/most robust version of Gulam? Is there any hope for an
upgrade?
