The Address is:

Donald Elton
2916-A Chatsworth Road
Columbia, SC  29223

He has both ECP and the "Talk Is Cheap" shareware programs, maybe more.

If it's a Unix-like shell you want, try Aztec C.  It has a Unix-like shell
that runs under prodos.  It has ls, rm, cp, cd, mv, mkdir, pr, pwd, cat, diff,
grep, cmp among others and an exec file language with looping.  Of course,
you also get C.  It would be a little expensive to buy just for the shell,
though.  See Byte magazine for Manx's ads for their Aztec C compiler if you
are interested.  You may want to write your own just for fun though :-).
