I'm willing to give it good grades; if you're so desperate for space
you're willing to live with buggy and/or non-standard commands, then
it's great. But they broke the fastest editor on the Amiga, and I
couldn't live with that.

I never even tried ASH; it doesn't run on my system, and breaks
CLI scripts on other peoples systems.

WShell, on the other hand, has all the features you applaud in ASH,
doesn't break CLI scripts (though even WShell isn't 100% compatable,
but Bill tries _very_ hard to make it so), and runs reasonably on my
system.

BTW - I'm not desperate for space; I keep the arp stuff installed on
the off chance that I get something that actually _needs_ one of the
incompatabilities of the ARP commands. I just never use them myself.
