More Ash info:
--------------

After receiving no less than a dozen mail messages about Ash in 1 day, I
thought I might post a few clairifications here:

   1) Ash will be available in comp.binaries.amiga soon.  I can't make it
      available for FTP, sorry.  Security restrictions here prevent that.
      Perhaps someone else can, if they'd be willing to always keep the
      most recent version there.

   2) You can use Ash now, but consider it a beta version.  There are a
      few things I need to add yet, like cp -r and rm -r, for example,
      and more of the Unix utilities like sort, grep, cut, and paste.

The "real" release of Ash will have the cp -r and rm -r commands.  Also,
I have completed two other things that will be in the "real" version -
using <esc>= to list the files matching a pattern, and <esc>* to insert
them in the command line (as in ksh).  For example, suppose you have
typed, this (the _ is the cursor)

    [dh0:]: ll *.c_

and type <esc>=.  Ash will display all the files ending in .c for you,
and then re-display your command line, so the display will look like this:

    [dh0:]: ll *.c
       1) my_file.c
       2) my_other_file.c
       3) foo.c
    [dh0:]: ll *.c_

Also, using <esc>* will insert those files directly into the command line:

    [dh0:]: ll *.c
    [dh0:]: ll my_file.c my_other_file.c foo.c_

Those features are not in the beta version, though, so hang on a bit.
They'll be there.  I hope to have the more stable "real" one out in a
few weeks, but you can use the beta version in the meantime, and I'd
appriciate any suggestions for improvement.

PS - Our site does not get comp.binaries.amiga, so I won't be able to
     tell when Ash has been posted.
