-See also the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/​AmigaDOS|Wikipedia page on AmigaDOS]], which contains quite a bit of information on how to use the Amiga Shell. +
- +
-===== Setting up your shell ===== +
- +
- +
-If you're used to Linux/Unix, you might like to try abc-shell, a Bash compatible shell for the Amiga. +
- +
-==== Classic Amigas ==== +
- +
-The standard AmigaOS shell is pretty basic. In order to improve your experience, you're best of installing some enhancements. +
- +
-=== KCON === +
- +
-KCON is one of the most commonly used shell enhancements for classic AmigaOS (3.9 and earlier). It provides scroll bars, command history, tab completion and more. +
- +
-=== ViNCEd === +
- +
-[[http://aminet.net/​package/​util/​shell/​ViNCEd|ViNCEd]] is a shell replacements for classic AmigaOS that provides Unix like job control (^Z, bg, fg), iconfication,​ lot of customization options, customizable title bar, scroll bars, command history, tab completion and moreIt can replace KCON and a number of other utilities. ViNCEd is built on a library that provides the core for a text editor (hence the name), that is documented and available for custom development. +
- +
-ViNCEd also ships with UnixDirs3, which gets you slightly more Unix like path handling (e.g. "cd .." works the way you'd expect if you're used to Linux/Unix) +
- +
-=== ZShell === +
- +
-[[http://aminet.net/​package/​util/​shell/​ZShell|ZShell]] is an open source shell with command history, bash like tab completion (that is, inline rather than using a requester/​dialog box, though you can bring up a file requester with ^f), colored prompts, a number of built in shell commands and unix style pipes (e.g. "dir | more" works as expected), menus with a number of short cuts, ability to hide file patterns (*.info files for example) from the built in commands. **WARNING**:​ While ZShell is very familiar if you come from Linux, and is great when it works, it has some pretty ugly bugs that might leave you with a hung shell window and might even trash other things on your machine. +
- +
-==== AmigaOS4 ==== +
- +
-TODO +
- +
- +
-===== What is the equivalent of ... in the Amiga shell? ===== +
- +
-==== Amiga wildcards vs. Unix Windows wildcards... ==== +
- +
-Amiga commands accept wildcards in most situations where Unix / Windows commands would, but the wildcards are different. +
- +
-On the Amiga, "#?"​ is used instead of "​*"​. +
- +
-TODOExpand. +
- +
-==== Amiga style options vs. Unix Windows style options ==== +
- +
-TODO: Describe ReadArgs style options. +
