To start with, many file maintenance jobs are far easier +when using command line utilities and batch files. The "user-friendly" +way to do many simple tasks (comparing two directories or copying to the +disk the relevant modified files of you current programming task, for +instance) is boring and error prone. Unix-like filters also are still +very useful. + +Any advanced user has a lot of command line programs in her system, but +if you do not use them very often it is not always easy to remember the +right option to do something. + +Cmd Line Shell is designed to be a shell for any command line program. +· It provides a common, easily configurable, GUI look to any +program which takes its options from the command line. +· It will help you to prepare the command line and launch the +external program. (You may also copy the command line to use it, say, +form a batch file.) +· You do not have to remember the syntax: the available options +and their use are displayed. +· You may easily search through your system for the input and +output files. +· Your favorite options may be set as new default. + +This program is designed to be used, for instance, with +· the Console utilities by the same author, +· the PostScript utilities included, for instance, in the +excellent free implementation of TeX by Christian Schenk: MiKTeX 1.07, +which is available from CTAN mirrors +(ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/ and +ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex), +· the epstool which comes with the last release of Ghostscript and +GSview ( http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/), +· many GNU utilities. + +The Definition Files (where the interface is defined) for many of these +programs are provided (though you might need to change a line to specify +the directory where your copy of each program is located). + |
