- DESCRIPTION
-
- C-Shell is a replacement for the AmigaDOS command line interface.
- Many builtin Unix-like commands, very fast script language, file-
- name completion, command-name completion, comfortable command line
- editing, pattern matching, AUX: mode, object oriented file classes,
- abbreviation of internal and external commands. Supports multiple
- users.
-
- C-Shell is easy to install and to use. Online help for all
- commands, functions and various subjects. ARP-free!
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- Changes since version 5.40 (summary):
- - Minor changes in documentation.
- - Built-in command "window" doesn't clear screen anymore.
- If you want to clear screen, use "echo -n ^[c^O" or "echo -n ^L".
- - Fixed timer bug in _prompt (%e) if start and end time of a program
- were not at the same day. (wrong execution time was displayed)
- - New built-in variable "_promptdep" (prompt path depth) and new
- placeholder "%P" for built-in variable "_prompt". Like "%p", "%P"
- displays the current path. With "_promptdep" the user sets the
- maximum number of directories (path parts) displayed for %P (to
- keep prompt smart and short). Default is 3.
- - New built-in variable "_complete" (DOS pattern). What files should
- match on filename completion. Default is "*". For example, if you
- don't want to see files ending with ".bak", set it to "~(*.bak)".
- - Changed output format of built-in command "mem" (for option -r)
- a little bit.
- - Fixed various bugs in built-in command "window". The changes for
- 5.40 caused an unnecessary usage message when using options -f,
- -b and -a. And options -l and -s didn't work at all. The checking
- for maximum window dimensions are not hardcoded any more but
- dynamically adjusted to the screen dimensions.
- - Finally found (and fixed) rounding bug in "itok()", caused display
- of wrong size for memory or harddisk around 1 GB and 1 TB etc.
- Numbers were rounded down to "0 GB" and "0 TB" instead of rounded
- up to "1 GB" and "1 TB".
