Short: C-Shell (csh) 5.50, CLI replacement Author: amk@zikzak.in-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz) Uploader: amk cs tu-berlin de (Andreas M Kirchwitz) Type: util/shell Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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 5.48 (summary): - Warns if an executed program changed the priority of the current task or the signal state shows unreleased signals. - Fast successive calls to built-in function @rnd(0) more accurate, seed is more "random" now. - Built-in function @rnd, when called with seed=0 to build seed value from current time-stamp, now always builds unique seed value on every call. - New built-in function: @mktemp. Returns a unique temporary file name of form T:tmpXXXXXXXX, or just tmpXXXXXXXX if T: does not exist. [thanks to Gary Duncan for source code] - Built-in command now handles binary files properly, so it's possible to use "cat file1 file2 >file3" to join files like under UNIX. But note, that the built-in command "join" is much more faster. - Some minor enhancements and bug fixes. Changes since version 5.42 (summary): - Redirected output to a file can now be examined by other programs while Cshell is still filling up the file. (files for redirection are now opened "shared" instead of "exclusivly") - Enhanced pipe functionality. Made "echo mem | csh" work again. - Built-in command "copy" now has (optional) new output format which prints full path of files being copied. (just try option "-x") - Built-in commands "chown" and "chgrp" now accept also user and group names (as well as numerical IDs). Does only work with "MultiUser". - Built-in command "window" resizes/moves window much more faster now. - Built-in command "version" now behaves more like Commodore's command "version".
