EXPERT QUESTIONS See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge bash ---- Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh). Bash is ultimately intended to be a faithful implementation of the IEEE Posix Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2). Bash is available from GNU sites, such as jaguar.cs.utah.edu:gnustuff tcsh ---- is an enhanced version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell csh. It behaves exactly like the C shell, with added utilities of: 1) Command line editing using vi or Emacs commands, allowing you to correct errors in the current input line, or in previously input lines, much more easily than with sh or csh. 2) Visual step up/down through the history list, letting you recall previously typed lines by simply pressing the up arrow key. 3) Terminal mode sanity checking and resetting, which helps reduce problems for users who frequently switch between various types of terminals. 4) Interactive command, file name and user name completion, allowing you to type the first few characters of a command, user name, or file name, then press the TAB key to automatically complete the word. 5) File, directory, and user list display in the middle of a typed command. 6) Interactive spelling correction of command, file, and user names. 7) Lookup of command documentation in the middle of a typed command. 8) Enhanced history mechanism for recalling previous commands. 9) Automatic locking or logout after long periods of idle time. You can get the tcsh distribution from ftp://ftp.deshaw.com/pub/tcsh or ftp://ftp.primate.wisc.edu/pub/csh-tcsh-book http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/csh-tcsh-book You can also get extended installation instructions at the primate.wisc.edu locations, in the form of a downloadable chapter from the tcsh book. (Sites submitted by Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu) zsh --- (paraphrased from the zsh faq, posted to comp.answers monthly) zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) which of the standard shells most resembles the Korn shell (ksh), although it is not completely compatible. It includes enhancements of many types, notably in the command-line editor, options for customising its behaviour, filename globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and extra features drawn from tcsh (another `custom' shell). zsh is available for users east of the Atlantic from: carlo.phys.uva.nl(145.18.218.21):/pub/bas/zsh/zsh-2.4beta.tar.gz The latest full release is in zsh-2.3.1.tar.gz in the same directory. and ftp://ftp.sterling.com/ The 2.3.1 distribution is also available from ftp.uu.net and mirrors in the directory pub/shells/zsh. MC File Manager --------------- a portable user-friendly file manager for Unix systems licensed under the GNU GPL. The program is available in ftp.nuclecu.unam.mx in the directory /linux/local and its name is mc-1.2.tar.gz.
