Three programs have been suggested over and over..... They include: 1) HISTORY.ARC 2) FILEC.ARC 3) MKS Toolkit HISTORY Copyright 1985-6 Michael M. Rubenstein HISTORY is a history processing terminate and stay resident program. It provides the ability to recall and edit previous commands and allows much more sophisticated editing than is found in the normal MSDOS system. Filename completion in HISTORY is limited to those filenames which have already been accessed and are in the history buffer. HISTORY.ARC is available from SIMTEL by FTP ******************************************* FILEC FILEC Version 1.00 By Mike Morearty FILEC stands for Filename Completion. This program provides filename completion similar to that done by some versions of the Unix C Shell (also called "Tenex-style" completion). It will complete any filename in the present directory and also provides Directory and Sub-directory name completion. It works nicely but does not include the fancy editing features of HISTORY. It may be used in combination with other command line editors. (This is the program I choose!!) FILEC.ARC is available from SIMTEL by FTP ******************************************* MKS Toolkit >The MKS Toolkit includes the Korn shell, which offers many features of >the cshell, including command completion, command history, command line >editing, etc. >We have some literature that we could send you. If you're interested, drop >me a line with your mailing address and I'll get it out to you. >-- > Gerry Wheeler Phone: (519)884-2251 >Mortice Kern Systems Inc.
