The following summarizes the numerous features of ZSH: <ul> <li>Powerful command line editor: Screen oriented editing including insert/overwrite modes, delete character, word or entire line, cursor movement etc.</li> <li>Command line history: The 19 most recently typed command lines will be stored by ZSH and can be recalled, edited and re-executed with only a few keystrokes.</li> <li>Wildcard menu: Instead of entering filenames manually, just enter @ (called the menu wildcard) and ZSH displays a screen oriented menu from which you can select the desired files quickly.</li> <li>Enhanced prompt: The prompt can be programmed to show useful information such as the working directory path or the current date and time.</li> <li>User defined abbreviations for commands and pathlists: Command names, entire command lines or parts of them as well as frequently used pathlists can be stored with a name in memory (called a symbol). Afterwards, these names can be used on the command line instead of entering the associated texts.</li> <li>Built-in batch control language: ZSH offers a wide range of commands that allow you to write real programs (called shell programs), as well as a powerful expression evaluator for numeric and sting expressions. The commands include flow control statements such as GOTO and GOSUB, conditional execution with IF...THEN as well as file handling and screen oriented input/output. These shell programs are even ROMable!</li> <li>Screen oriented Menus: Using the MENU command in a shell program you may generate screen oriented menus at almost no expense. With only a few lines of text, complicated sequences of commands can be made available in a menu.</li> </ul> <h2>ZE Full Screen Editor</h2> <p>ZE 68k is a full screen editor available for the OS-9/68k operating system. Due to a built-in help feature (in fact, a complete on-line manual with detailed descriptions of all functions and error messages) ZE is very easy to use.</p> <p>Some features of ZE: <ul> <li>Find and replace functions with several options and wildcard support.</li> <li>Status line with line/column display and other informations.</li> <li>Jump to line/column specified.</li> <li>Auto indent for structured programming languages.</li> <li>Full set of block operations.</li> <li>Backup files for data security.</li> <li>Fully installable (screen and keyboard), even in multiuser systems with any number of different terminals.</li> <li>Multiple text editing: Up to five different files can be edited simultaneously. Text blocks can be moved/copied from one text to another.</li> <li>Up to three windows (split screen, available on all terminal types) to view different texts and/or different parts of one text together on one screen.</li> <li>Two screen formats: e.g. 80/132 columns.</li> <li>Automatic text swapping for large texts.</li> <li>Can use text buffers from 8K Bytes up to 2 Gigabytes size.</li> <li>Text markers.</li> <li>Interactive error checking feature for different compilers.</li> <li>Fully ROMable.</li> </ul> <h2>TOP System Monitor</h2> <p>TOP is a utility to monitor the activity and resources of an OS-9/68k system. TOP offers a wide range of possibilities to look at the system and to manipulate it. On several screens, nearly every interesting information about processes, events, alarms, interrupts and paths can be displayed. It is also possible to look at the usage of memory of a process or of the entire system.</p> <p>TOP is able to display these informations contiguously on the screen. Using a set of online commands the desired screen can be selected and the process and resources can be manipulated. TOP is a handy utility for system managers an programmers writing multitask applications. </p> <hr> <h3>Contact Information</h3> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>Telephone</td> <td><strong>+41 (0)56 483 34 64</strong><img src="../images/smallnew.gif" alt="smallnew.gif (905 bytes)" WIDTH="25" HEIGHT="14"></td> <td rowspan="4"><img src="../images/elsoft-big.gif" alt="[Esloft AG logo]" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="64"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>FAX</td> <td>+41 (0)56 493 30 20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td>Taefernstrasse 20, CH-5405 Daettwil</td> </tr> <tr> <td>E-Mail</td> <td><a href="mailto:info@elsoft.ch">info@elsoft.ch</a></td> </tr> </table> <p>Information contained in this document is subject to change without notice.<br> Other products and companies referred to herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies or mark holders.<br> Copyright © 1997-2001 Elsoft AG, Switzerland</p> <p>Last modification: 05 April, 2000 /sp</p> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </DIV> </BODY>
