[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Hamilton cshell

ajayshah@aludra.usc.edu (Ajay Shah) (07/12/90)

I know something about the Hamilton CShell, based on product info
they sent me:

	They say it's a 100% rewrite from scratch, they didn't
	start by inheriting some source and altering it,

	It felt really complete on cshell programming facilities,

	They have a few extensions like cursor-keys-editing on
	commandline,

	I think they were silly enough to only have an
	implementation on OS/2 so they must be dead ducks by now (i
	saw this info a long time ago).

I don't think they're dead, as I was paging through the latest Programmer's
Connection catalog today at lunch, and saw mention of this same shell.  I
believe it runs under DOS, too, but can't be for certain.  I read the
blurb, but don't remember implementation details...
