DESCRIPTION
-----------
The Windows Command Line and Batch Processor (WCL) is a
Shareware program that presents a fully featured DOS-like
command line interface for Microsoft's Windows 3.1x and IBM's
Win-OS/2. It is an applications manager, file manager,
system manager, and suite of utilities, which can either replace
or supplement the standard Windows Program and File Managers and
the MS-DOS prompt. All this functionality in WCL is invoked from
a Windows command prompt.

WCL basically simulates the DOS "C:\> prompt", but from within
Windows or Win-OS/2. WCL ensures that you do not need to open a
DOS shell or the File Manager, just to perform operations like
file copying, directory listing, file deletions, changing file
attributes, etc., etc. WCL, being a full Windows program, offers
all the benefits of Windows which will otherwise be lost in a
DOS shell, and uses far less memory than a DOS shell.

You can run Windows and DOS programs by typing their names and
pressing <ENTER>, just as you would do at the DOS command line.
If you are running OS/2 version 2.1, then you can also run OS/2
programs from within WCL. Program files with the extension .COM,
.EXE, .BAT, .PIF and .CBF (WCL batch file extension) can be run
from WCL. WCL also allows you to run Windows programs and
commands from an "MS-DOS prompt".

WCL supports most of the internal DOS commands (e.g., COPY,
DIR, CD, MD, RD, DEL, MOVE, REN, etc.), and some external DOS
commands (e.g., ATTRIB, PRINT, etc.) through built-in technology.
In addition to these, there are several commands internal to WCL,
and several extra features which are fully documented in the
extensive on-line help.

In addition to this, WCL has scores of internal commands of its
own, all designed to make Windows easier to use for the command
line aficionado. There are powerful commands like SEEK, COPYTREE,
and DELTREE.

Other features include UUencode, UUdecode, UNZIP, Filename
Completion, Implied CD, Directory Aliases, Command Aliases,
assignment of commands to Function Keys, Doskey emulation, batch
file operation within Windows, full command-line editing, a
FOREACH command, support for file extensions in WIN.INI, support
for various CLIPBOARD functions, timed SCHEDULING of commands,
transmitting multiple commands at once, conditional execution of
commands, dispatching of messages to active processes, and an
interface for programmers to hook into the WCL system and extend
the internal command set. You can have a Windows AUTOEXEC batch
file which WCL will run each time Windows is started (if WCL is
the Windows shell). You can also have commands to be run each time
WCL is loaded, by using the STARTUP settings in WCL.INI.

WCL is fully compatible with environments such as OS/2, Windows
NT, Novell Netware, and PC-NFS (there is even a WCL "MAP" command
to MAP and unMAP Netware drives, from WCL). There is extra
support for networked users, whereby each user can have his/her
own separate WCL.INI file. WCL is also compatible with COMMAND.COM
replacements such as 4DOS. While 4DOS's unique features are not
duplicated by WCL, you can access them from WCL by using WCL's
RUNDOS or SPAWN commands.

WCL can replace the Program Manager as your Windows or Win-OS/2
Shell.

BATCH FILES
-----------
WCL supports batch file processing within Windows. Any file with
the extension .CBF is treated as a WCL batch file, and can
contain any mixture of program files and WCL internal commands.
A further feature of the batch file processing of WCL is support
for a Windows "AUTOEXEC" batch file. WCL will execute any commands
found in a WCL batch file with the name AUTOEXEC.CBF every time WCL
is run.

SHAREWARE
---------
WCL is a shareware program which costs #18 (U.K. Sterling) or
$26 (U.S.) to register.
