FOX SHELL Utility

I will begin putting updates for this program here. 

Now that I have fixed a pretty big bug in my E/A5 files...  this app should be more reliable.

 

This is version 1.5. 

It's a re-build of 1.4 with the new direct threaded compiler so it's a bit snappier and it is case insensitive on the command line.

It will always startup in NOCASE mode (the command to turn-on case insensitivity) 

If you wanted to return to all caps just type CAPS.

 

The HELP command shows what's available in the shell.

 

At the moment it can only deal with one file type at a time DV80 or DF128.

 

So if you look at a directory with DIR the type is set to DF128. 

To use MORE to view a file right after you do a DIR, you have to type DV80 first to switch back.

( I will fix that eventually)

 

This might be useful for people using real iron and old fashioned disk drives.

I would appreciate any feedback or requests for features.

 

I would like to make some pipe capability in future. 

The COPY and APND commands are a beginning.

When used with Classic99 in this version you can now copy to CLIP:

 

COPY DSK1.MYFILE  CLIP 
APND DSK1.OTHERFILE  CLIP
APND DSK3.FILE7   CLIP

 

And then paste the whole thing into your windows editor or whatever.

Checking in to see if anyone finds this useful and if their oversights bugs or features outstanding.

It provides something for machines with older disk drives but maybe nobody is using the 99 like that anymore. (?)
