The toolkit on the >whole has much potential, but without a working shell it's virtually useless. I agree. I think that the Gulam shell works well with these utilities, and has the flexibility that allows you to make your environment the way you like it... aliases, sets, scripts, prompt, and so on. I found that I prefer "more14" to the one built in to Gulam, so I use that. I found that in the Toolkit by Andrew Smith and Steve Ashcroft, there are some things that I am interested in. I have not tried all of them yet, but I intend to. I will pick out things that I like, give them an alias in the Gulam shell, and use them. There are several people who are doing great work to make the ST a more productive environment in which to work: The four who come to the top of my list are Prabhaker Mateti and Jwahar Bammi, both of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio Andrew Smith and Steve Ashcroft, both (I think) of Kings College, University of London. Some of you may not have not heard much from Mr. Bammi recently... I think (hope) he is writing his thesis. Others who are among my favorites are Moshe Braner (RAMDISK, IDLE12, SCACHE) Tod Burkey (DISKSCAN) Jean-Pierre Dumas (UUD, UUE) Houston club?
