Hi Don, I've picked up a few goodies from Usenet..but since I've been off the net here for quite a while I thought I'd check with you about whether they've been posted yet. First, I just picked up the executable and documentation for Matt Dillon's Shell version 2.05m. New stuff includes command line editing (you can still use "!nn" or "!str" to recall commands, the new feature is that you can use the up & down arrows to go back and forward in the history list & the left/right arrows & insert/delete character to edit the command line). Also, true path support has been added as well as recursive copy and delete (ie: you can copy an entire set of subdirectories) and sorted directories and an "exclude" option on directory listings. I don't have sources for 2.05m yet…they were truncated on my Usenet node. I was going to upload 2.04m sources but I'll wait for 2.05m. Perry Kivolowitz (ASDG) recently posted his recoverable ram disk driver and other utilities to Shareware. He asked anyone having Compuserve access to post it here also. Let me know whether you already have these things and, if not, I will upload them. Rick Schaeffer
