- 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 and up". May I introduce myself? My name
- is "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" and currently I'm the keeper of the source (KOTS).
-
- What's new? Csh 5.20+ is totally ARP free and OS 2.0+ only. Plus bug fixes
- and lots of enhancements. Since Cshell is now maintained by a new author,
- the version number should be increased to "6.x". Well, you better don't ask
- why this hasn't been done ;-) Some day it will... some day...
-
- 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)
-
- - Lots of new commands and variables.
-
-
- You better read the history file for a full list of changes!!
-
-
- 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. If you report Enforcer hits please send the complete Enforcer and
- SegTracker output. Otherwise it's of no earthly use.
