- Welcome to the 5.20+ series of C-Shell (Csh). Hey, what does "5.20+" mean?
- And who is "Andreas M. Kirchwitz"? What happened to "Urban D. Mueller"?
- We don't need no WIMPY Csh 5.x -- we want Csh 6.x! NOW!!!
-
- STOP!
-
-
- Lemme explain, "5.20+" means "5.20-5.99". These are intermediate releases
- of Csh until Csh 6.00 (major update) is released (by Urban D. Mueller).
- Urban is very busy and so he asked me to take over Csh until he has time to
- continue work on Csh. Please note, that Csh is still Urban's shell. I'm
- not the "new author" of Csh.
-
- What's new? Csh 5.20+ is totally ARP free and OS 2.0+ only. Plus bug fixes
- and some enhancements. But no scrollbar yet. No tcsh-like multi-functional
- completer. No updated hypertext manual. Sorry! Wait for Csh 6.00 ;-)
-
- Special thanks must go to Gary Duncan for bug reports and enhancements
- request (incl. source code). Thank you, Gary!
-
- I recommend that you read the "HISTORY" file. No joke -- READ IT!
- First of all, some important points if you upgrade to 5.20+.
-
- - Csh only runs on AmigaOS 2.0 (or higher).
-
- - Csh 5.20+ uses dos.library (or pattern.library if installed) for
- pattern matching. That means, you CANNOT USE ARP-PATTERNS any more.
- But pattern matching is still only done when there's a "*" or "?".
-
- - Csh uses DOS resident list. (ARP is gone :)
- Internal command "resident" works on DOS resident list.
-
- - Csh-Scripts MUST end with ".sh". If you call a Csh-Script you MUST
- type the name WITHOUT the ".sh" extension.
-
- - You can start DOS-Scripts from Csh. (do NOT use "execute"!)
-
- - "s:login.sh" and "s:cshrc.sh" are obsolete.
- Use "s:.login" and "s:.cshrc" now.
-
- - Options of internal "assign" have changed.
-
- - Internal command "path" works on DOS path list.
-
- - Default output format of "dir" changed. (supports links)
-
-
- Hopefully I forgot nothing ;-) And now... HAVE FUN with this new Csh.
- If you send bug reports, please be so exact as you can. Include an example
- how to reproduce the bug. Write me the version numbers of your Csh and
- AmigaOS.
