        YAOS (Yet Aother OS/2 Shell) version 0.2, Copyright 1993
        ========================================================
                          (FREEWARE)
This is a simple shell that runs on top of cmd.exe. It's features
are:

      * Unix-like file name completion using the <esc> or <tab> key
        Possible file names are toggled with each <esc> or <tab>
        stroke if the commandline argument '-t' is specificied.
  
      * a history of previous used commands with ability
        to access them using commands like: !!, !4, !v test.c
        (those familiar with unix would know what I am 
        talking about). Of course, the up and down cursor
        keys will scroll through previous commands too.

      * ability to change directory to any [drive:\directory]
        in a single command using the normal 'cd' command.
        (See bug list)

      * last but not least, it is FREE. 

This is the second release of YAOS. The new features are file name
toggling, command editing, and some bug fixes. It is by no means a
bug free version. (Refer to bug list). I hope you'll like YAOS.
Suggestions and comments are welcomed.

Bug List:
---------
1)  Does not work with programs that change directory. YAOS do not
    recognize the directory change made with those programs. 
    (I still have not found the solution to this problem. I use the 
    C function "system()" to execute the user's program. When the 
    function ends, it will return to the original directory. Any 
    suggestions?)
