Description: ZShell is a small (36K), fast and powerful Shell with many (68) 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. NOTE: The source code is available on Aminet in the archive util/shell/ZShell29src.lha
