Short: Source code for ZShell V2.8 Author: Paul Hayter, Martin Gierich Uploader: uj3w rz uni-karlsruhe de (Martin Gierich) Type: util/shell Version: 2.8 Replaces: util/shell/ZShell27src.lha Requires: Nothing Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Quellcode zu ZShell V2.8 Price: Free The main distribution is available on Aminet in the archive util/shell/ZShell28.lha Description: ZShell is a small (34K), fast and powerful Shell with many (66) built-in commands. So it replaces most of the commands in the C: directory (like LIST, COPY etc.) which saves disk space and reduces disk accesses. There is NO way around ZShell for those who do not have a hard disk or still have Kickstart 1.2/1.3 ! But it is very useful for those with a better Kickstart and/or hard disk, too, because for example it has powerful editing & history, filename completion, pipes, review buffer, some Kickstart 2.0/3.0 specific features and a lovely LIST command. I have tried to make ZShell compatible to the standard shell, not just another UN*X shell clone, but with some features known from UN*X shells. I especially have taken care that it is easy to use. ZShell is very useful for programmers, because it has things like showing EXEC-lists and the task list, memory dumping and other things you usually find in debuggers. You can switch off the internal command-line-editor to use ZShell with console handlers like KingCON.
