Did anyone else look at WCED and receive a few surprises?
I put it together thinking that it might be a newer version of
CED that i have used for years. Close, but no prize for second.
What i did find was a good program to do command editing and
history and (pleasantly suprising) filename completion. The last
was especially happy since i'm currently using two programs to
accomplish a similar effect, namely command line history and
filename completion.
What i didn't find was any mechonism at all for command
aliasing (synonyms). This was a great disapointment. CED (or WCED)
with command editing, history and aliasing (all of which CED
has) as well as filename completion (WCED has it) would be a
truly wonderful utility.
Oh well, back to buoying myself up with yet more pieces of
shattered hopes.

I am planning on submitting it to c.b.i.p. as soon as I figure out how to do so! The PC Mag vol9n16.zip archive may have a version that had 2 bugs - it did not like initialization files ending in a ^Z, and would not install itself in some instances because it would find itself in a disk cache and think it was already loaded into memory. The fixed version is on CI$ and PC Magnet but the original vol9n16 had the buggy one. I'm not sure if they ever updated that archive or not. /Ashok Nadkarni
