The new version 2.1 of Arcgsh has gone out yesterday to Steven Grimm, the moderator of comp.binaries.atari.st and should appear in that newsgroup really soon now. For those who don't know the program: Arcgsh is a GEM shell and allows you to call Zoo, Arc, Uud, Uue, Shar and other programs very comfortably because parameter input is done by dialog boxes. The main advantage of the new version over the former one (V1.4) is of course the Zoo support. Many of you may have waited for the long promised ZooBoy shell - but it never came. Well, now Arcgsh V2.1 is in the pipeline, and I hope you can have as much pleasure with it as could have had with ZooBoy. When I started to develop Arcgsh the name stood for "ARC Graphical SHell". This meaning is of course no longer appropriate. "Arcgsh" now means (for obvious reasons :-)) "A Really Cute Gem SHell". And another word: Please do report bugs! When I got a color emulator for my monochrome monitor and was able to run Arcgsh V1.4 in the medium resolution I at once noticed some *very* *obvious* display errors. However, no one ever told me before and I couldn't fix it! So please feel free to send me a note if you have stumbled over something and tell me about it!
