5 March 2015, 9:00 pmMiguel I. Garcia Lopez released the first version of his Unix-like shell for CP/M systems with Z80 CPU called SamaruX. Of course it features standard functionalities like redirecting the output of stdin / stdout, piping, environment variables, batch processing and much more. It was written with MESCC, a Small-C compiler for CP/M. If you are still using CP/M on your Amstrad CPC and want to test it, you can get the latest version of SamaruX, its source code and the MESCC compiler from the Floppy Software homepage (http://www.floppysoftware.vacau.com/). You can discuss about it in the CPCWiki forums (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/applications/samarux-unix-like-shell-for-cpm/msg94258/#msg94258).
Some features:
- Redirection of stdin and stdout with > and <
- Piping with |
- Environment with variables $TERM, $USER, etc.
- Command line history
- Profiling for environment customization
- Command aliasing
- Batch processing with flow control and arguments passing
- Complete on-line manual
