Short: Use MSDOS6 commands on your Amiga (Shell util') Author: cmsdloma@livjm.ac.uk Uploader: cmsdloma@livjm.ac.uk Type: util/cli $VER: MSDOS® For AmigaDOS® 3.0 (27.9.1995) [NB: .lha AND .dms version is included, since this can be a bit tricky to set up. If you're a beginner, use the DMS version. If you're still baffled, mail me!] What is MSDOS for AmigaDOS? ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ Quite simply- it allows you to use MSDOS commands on your AMIGA, most of which are conveniently shorter and there are a few extra commands. Here's some features: · Enables the use of commands like Del, Deltree, Pause, DOSKey, etc. · No need to alter existing Workbench commands · Works with RESIDENT commands too! (One or two, like DELTREE don't) · Takes up VERY LITTLE RAM! · Fully AmigaDOS 2+ compatible, & works on ANY device (irrelevent!). · Completely invisible- AmigaDOS commands still work as well! · Doesn't echo commands. It's "QUIET" like MSDOS · Can use * wildcard! · Also allows you to use . as current directory and .. as parent · Double click an MS-DOS icon, and get an MS-DOS supporting DosShell · Use A: and B:, instead of boring old DF0: and DF1: De-archive & try NOW!!! N.B. (INSTALLATION) === This is VERY important, when you de-archive this, you =MUST= preserve the file attributes. This can be done either by using GuiArc or using the -a option like so: LHA x -a MSDOS_30.Lha RAM: If you don't preserve the file's attributes, nothing will work! When the INSTALLATION is complete- You MUST reboot for it to work /// __ /// \\X// AMIGA - There Can Be Only One [at the top!] \|/ @ @ <<< Who IS this guy, anyway!!!? ____oOO (_) OOo____ ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1022 742 27.3% 27-Sep-95 14:52:34 MSDOS_30.info 1715 924 46.1% 27-Sep-95 13:54:14 MSDOS_30.ReadMe 510 258 49.4% 27-Sep-95 14:52:36 MSDOS_30.ReadMe.info 234 121 48.2% 26-Sep-95 23:02:08 +Add_To_Shell_Startup 5136 4978 3.0% 26-Sep-95 22:34:20 +AmigaGuide 2273 563 75.2% 27-Sep-95 14:29:02 +DOS6.info 85 83 2.3% 18-Oct-94 22:15:14 +BACKUP 170 116 31.7% 22-Oct-94 18:00:10 +DATE 115 108 6.0% 18-Oct-94 22:15:20 +DEL. 263 189 28.1% 24-Oct-94 00:39:20 +DELTREE 10924 6219 43.0% 26-Sep-95 22:28:00 +DF 28760 28160 2.0% 22-Oct-94 17:59:18 +DMS 148 124 16.2% 27-Sep-95 11:14:16 +DOSVER.TXT 1150 346 69.9% 28-Aug-94 15:57:50 +FORMAT 3300 3188 3.3% 22-Oct-94 18:00:28 +GETLINE 4208 4081 3.0% 29-Oct-94 18:24:36 +HELP 305 192 37.0% 18-Oct-94 22:15:10 +LABEL 35920 35920 0.0% 27-Sep-95 10:44:46 +LHA 674 382 43.3% 17-Nov-94 14:30:26 +LISTCOMMANDS.TXT 840 622 25.9% 27-Sep-95 10:48:38 +MakeDir 101 60 40.5% 18-Oct-94 22:15:18 +MAP 2498 1159 53.6% 27-Sep-95 13:05:06 +MSDOS 953 702 26.3% 27-Sep-95 14:29:00 +MSDOS.info 92 76 17.3% 17-Nov-94 14:47:50 +REQ 71 70 1.4% 18-Oct-94 22:15:16 +RESTORE 159 104 34.5% 22-Oct-94 17:59:42 +TIME 5450 1757 67.7% 28-Sep-95 17:50:32 +Install-MSDOS 2016 1125 44.1% 27-Sep-95 14:28:40 +Install-MSDOS.info 35440 12630 64.3% 26-Sep-95 22:23:58 +Help.Library 24363 10223 58.0% 27-Sep-95 13:51:02 +MSDOS.Guide 501 247 50.6% 27-Sep-95 14:28:40 +MSDOS.Guide.info 2273 563 75.2% 27-Sep-95 14:29:22 +Yak.info 2273 560 75.3% 27-Sep-95 14:29:20 +Locale.info 2273 561 75.3% 26-Sep-95 23:30:56 +Catalogs.info 2273 561 75.3% 26-Sep-95 23:31:06 +Deutsch.info 5198 2395 53.9% 26-Sep-95 23:29:26 +Yak.catalog 2273 561 75.3% 26-Sep-95 23:31:14 +Français.info 5096 2329 54.2% 26-Sep-95 23:29:34 +Yak.catalog 8460 2949 65.1% 26-Sep-95 23:28:50 +yak.cd 327 222 32.1% 26-Sep-95 23:30:56 +Yak.cd.info 7112 2637 62.9% 26-Sep-95 23:28:52 +yak.ct 327 220 32.7% 26-Sep-95 23:30:56 +Yak.ct.info 2273 560 75.3% 27-Sep-95 14:29:20 +Prefs.info 2273 562 75.2% 26-Sep-95 23:30:24 +ENVARC.info 2273 560 75.3% 26-Sep-95 23:30:32 +Sys.info 1567 930 40.6% 26-Sep-95 23:30:32 +def_Yak.info 1150 549 52.2% 26-Sep-95 23:27:30 +Yak.prefs 50396 25096 50.2% 26-Sep-95 23:26:06 +Yak 4413 1306 70.4% 26-Sep-95 23:30:16 +Yak.info 16112 15751 2.2% 26-Sep-95 23:25:42 +Yak 79985 25224 68.4% 26-Sep-95 23:25:30 +Yak.Guide 542 270 50.1% 27-Sep-95 14:29:16 +Yak.Guide.info 1373 666 51.4% 27-Sep-95 14:29:18 +Yak.info 391 274 29.9% 27-Sep-95 14:51:48 UpLoader.TXT 510 262 48.6% 27-Sep-95 14:54:14 UpLoader.TXT.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 370539 201037 45.7% 15-Dec-95 11:10:40 55 files
