Well, Shell 2.02A (for Manx)  was sent to .sources so stay tuned.
- It has all the new functionality of Matts 2.03A, but modified and added
  features for Manx C.
- I've also supplied a separate makefile that patches shell for use
  under 1.2 workbench. We all know how fexec function dies under 1.2
  well using Matt's sr program (manxified & supplied with this makefile)
  we twiddle a few bits of the executable to make fexecv come back to life.

- The next version I will send out (I'm debugging it now) will have an 
  additional module (console.c) which changes the console to raw input
  while entering commands and allows for FULL COMMAND LINE EDITING and
  command line recall. The same as VMS except that my version allows inserting
  and editing throughout the entire 255 possible char command line not
  just the current cursor line. Also all the function keys can be defined
  as any command line sequence. Of course these features are due to
  the new abilities of the console device under 1.2 and would therefore
  not work under 1.1.   If there is enough demand I can provide the
  binaries for this version, for those that don't have Manx.
