- About Oberon Software
- ---------------------
-
- Oberon Software has been involved in the creation of OS/2 related
- products and services since 1988. Founded by Brady Flowers, Oberon
- Software (named for the character in Shakespeare's "A Mid-Summer
- Night's Dream") is committed to enhancing the software base for the
- ever growing community of OS/2 users and to helping foster the growth
- and acceptance of OS/2 as the next generation in operating systems
- for personal computers and workstations.
-
- Oberon products are generally marketed as shareware to keep
- marketing overhead to a minimum. The savings can then be devoted to
- further development and enhancements and customer service. Please,
- support the shareware concept by registering the shareware products
- which you use and by passing them along to others for their
- inspection.

- ----
-

- featured, easy to use, general purpose telecommunications program for
- OS/2. Developed originally for OS/2 1.1, it was one the very first
- such programs written specifically to take advantage of the power and

- telecomm program anywhere

- * Extensive facility for running external programs and protocols
- * Multiple, 200 entry dialing directories
- * Call logging
- * Split screen chat mode

- * ZModem with automatic start-up and resume
- * CompuServe(tm) B-Plus protocol
- * Ascii file upload and capture
-

- FSHL
- ----
-
- FSHL, \ef' shel\ n. [Flowers' shell, named for Brady Flowers,
- software designer during the late 20th century]: a program which
- greatly enhances the power a user has when working at the OS/2
- command prompt by adding aliases and macros, enhanced and extended
- command line recall and editing functions, extended command set,
- enhanced batch language, and provisions for user-created extensions.
-
- FSHL, Oberon Software's Alternative Command Line Executive for
- OS/2, layers itself over the default OS/2 command line interpreter,
- CMD.EXE, to provide the user with all of these extended services
- without sacrificing access to OS/2's base level functionality!
-
- These are just some of the features of FSHL:
-
- * FSHL aliases allow the user to replace often typed, hard to type,
- or hard to remember commands with any other command of their
- preference.
- * Full featured command line editor adds features to the OS/2 command
- prompt similar to those found in word processing programs.
- * Recall previously typed commands:
-
- - One at a time
- - By matching a partially typed command
- - By selection from a list
-
- * Extends the OS/2 batch language to allow access to FSHL's aliases
- and history.
- * Dynamic pseudo environment variables to access system
- information such as the time and date, errorlevels, and window state.
- * New built-in commands like:
-
- - "Sweep" to execute a given command over an entire directory tree.
- - "Window" to control the OS/2 text mode window in which FSHL is
- running from the command line or a batch file.
- - "Prty" to adjust the OS/2 priority at which a program will run.
- - And lots more!
-
- * Extended options on existing OS/2 commands.
- * All 48 function keys programmable as text macros.
- * Two separate, powerful programming APIs allow third party developers
- to extend the basic FSHL command set and to allow applications to call
- back into FSHL to access its services.
- * Free technical support via the Oberon BBS!
