Announcing: C-Shell 5.00
C-Shell 5.00 is a legitimate follow of the Matt Dillon shell.
Main features include:
- Kickstart 2.0 compatible, some kick 2.0 specific features
- 20 new built in commands
- 70 functions like: echo @strleft( "hello world" 7 )
- Many new system variables
- Residentable (finally!)
- Tab file name completion
- Freely programmable editing keys
- Object oriented features (file classes, actions on classes)
- Jump scrolling for some internal commands
- Automatic cd (type a directory name to 'cd' to it)
- Quick cd ('cd' to any directory without typing a path)
- Intuition Menus in the console window
- VT terminal compatibility, command line editing on a VT
- Foreign character sets supported
- Automatic RX-ing (type a .rexx file name to 'rx' it)
- Unlimited number of args & commands per line
Restrictions:
- Due to the dramatic changes, certainly not 100% bug free. Everyday
use should not be affected. The first update fill follow soon; I
count on your bug reports
- Executable size 85K
