I finnaly got around to installing my Mark William's C last night and the first thing I noticed was msh lacked alias. Has anyone hacked up a more UNIX like shell for use with MWC? Has anyone tried to port tcsh? And while I have your attention: What do people out there have to say about swapable hard drives (Is it spelled Bornouli?) Has anyone used one with the atari? Where can they be gotten? How reliable are they? dav

There are "shell functions" which will serve the same purpose. You can find some examples in the file "bin/profile" which gets installed from the floppy. Look at the stuff for "gemset" as an example. ...walt... -- Walt Weber Apollo Computer (508) 256-6600 x8315 People's Republic of Massachusetts -The views expressed herein are personal, and not binding on Apollo-

But get this: you can also change msh's builtins! I wanted 'ls' to give me a columnar listing with file type characters ("\" for directories, "*" for executables) by default. All I had to do for that was rename the builtin "ls" to something else, like "lss" by using "unset in .bin ls" and then "set in .bin lss <address of 'ls'>". Then all I had to do was to "set in .cmd ls" to "lss -<whatever flags I want>". -- JJS (busy at work on that .signature)
