- Description:
- ZShell is a small (31K), fast and powerful Shell with many (65)
- builtin commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C:
- directory (like LIST, COPY etc.) 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
- hard disk, too, because for example it has powerful editing &
- history, file name completion, review buffer, some Kickstart
- 2.0/3.0 specific features and a lovely LIST command.
-
- ZShell is inteded for shell users who do not need a script
- file execution which is as complex as a programming language
- (simple script execution with IF, ASK, SKIP etc. is supported).
- I tried to make usage nearly like the AmigaDOS Shell with some
- features known from UN*X Shells but without a confusing variety
- of options ("LIST -R" and "LIST ALL" both work).
-
- For programmers ZShell has things like showing EXEC-lists and
- the task list, memory dumping and execution checking.
