[Coco] ShellPlus, may it rest in peace. Was: Nitros9/Scripts question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Take a look at "VDIR" which I wrote and uploaded to Delphi and was 
transferred to RTSI.

 ftp://www.rtsi.com/OS9/OS9_6X09/APPS/VDir.lzh

VDir.LZH is also on my webpage http://home.mindspring.com/~sfischer1/

ShellPlus which was a great and wonderful piece of work for OS-9 appears to 
be not well known at all today.

The version on NitrOS-9 is broken in a serious way but a careful reading of 
the ShellPlus 2.1 Documentation will show that much remains.

Parts of ShellPlus are not in NitrOS-9 at all and the patches to correct the 
defaults taken are not provided.

For some of what OS-9 ShellPlus offered are shown in my thread:

It really is a shame NitrOS-9 ShellPlus is not used like I did so many years 
ago as the authors intended.

I and Gene found a horrible bug at the same time years ago.

My memory is still fresh about how to use the power of ShellPlus.
