Gulam is a shell for AtariST; it is around 85k, and comes with a 60k+
manual. It contains some 60+ built-in commands, provides file name
completion, has history, alias and rehash facilities, and integrates
the shell with microEmacs easing the editing of commands being issued.
Among the built-in commands are:
egrep -- a regular expression based string pattern finder,
te -- a simple terminal emulator,
rx/sx -- Xmodem file transfers, and
pr -- a text file printer with pagination.
Here is the full list:
alias dirc exit history msoff pwd source unalias
cd dirs fg if mv rehash sx unset
chmod echo fgrep lpr peekw ren te unsetenv
copy egrep foreach ls pokew rm teexit which
cp ef format mem popd rmdir time while
date endfor gem mkdir print rx touch
df endif grep more printenv set ue
dm endwhile help mson pushd setenv uekb
In common usage, it resembles csh of Unix 4.xBSD; Gulam's
control structures, lexical conventions and other details are,
however, quite different from csh.
Gulam is a free program; you are encouraged to give it to
others, but at no cost. However, the source is copyrighted and will
be part of a book on systems programming I am writing. The source is
available on request, with the usual provisos regarding material in
manuscript form.
Turner (moderator for comp.binaries.atari.st) will post
the executables for Gulam to the net soon.
