- Description:
- ZShell is a small (26K), fast and powerful SHELL with many (64) builtin
- commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C: directory
- what effects in saving disk space and reducing disk accesses. There
- is no way around ZShell for those who do not have a harddisk or still
- have Kickstart 1.2/1.3 . But it is useful for those with a better
- Kickstart and/or harddisk, too, because for example it has powerful
- editing & history, filenamecompletion, review buffer and a lovely
- LIST, DIR and INFO command (very sensible ones !). I tried to made
- usage similar to the AmigaDOS Shell for easy using.
-
- Note:
- This is an update to Version 1.3 on the Fish Library Disk 537 from
- Paul Hayter. I (Martin) tried to ask him for permission to release
- this, but he has not answered. Because it is still Freeware and the
- original executable with documentation is included, I do not think
- that I am doing something nasty. ( In the original distribution
- there was the source code included but there was nothing stated
- about changing the source. )
