Announcing PropBASH

stevenmess2004

This is just a version of PropDOS (hope youd don't mind OBC) that has some of the commands changed to act more like BASH for those who are used to it.

Main change is that there is now a help command and dir has been changed to ls.

This is really a work in progress. When I do another version of DOL I will use that to make it more useful.

New version 002
Updates
-"del" changed to "rm"
-"type" changed to "cat"

If anyone else has a suggestion than let me know. The help command needs updating but that will have to wait until I get back.

Have fun and let me know if you find any bugs.

Good Idea! Don't mind at all!!

Although I would have added DEL <> RM and CAT <> TYPE. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Do you mind if I add this idea to the next revision of PropDOS?
(With listed credit for the idea of course!)

Merging it with PropDos is fine. I was kind of wondering how I was going to keep it up to date and that would solve the problem. I'm going to be away for a few days so changes will have to wait until I get back but I will do the things you suggested.

I managed to find some time before leaving to make the changes that OBC suggested. The help command needs updating but that will have to wait until I get back. Have fun.

For a couple years I was doing dual development on the PC and Unix (Solaris), I got so tired of constantly typing the wrong command in I wrote batch and shell scripts to cross-define the commands I kept confusing, made things much simpler when I momentarily forgot which system I was on.

Did the same thing..

My coworkers laughed at me for creating scripts in Linux for common DOS commands,
but it sure made it easier to switch from a DOS machine to a Linux machine without aggrivation.

Slightly OT but in the same spirit as moving between OS's and switching commands it would be really nice if compiler writers would implement all the common ways of representing non-decimal numbers; $01FA, 0x1FA, &h01FA, %1010, 0b1010, &b1010 etc.

Installing Cygwin on a PC provides support for almost any linux command line development tool in the standard windows command shell including gcc etc.... Hippy, you know too many languages [noparse]:)[/noparse]

dir = ls . That is my biggest annoyance with using PropDOS.
