Re: LZ: Shells and More

sorry, but your wrong. C-shell is just a meer copy and re-organization of
zshell. nice, but USGARD will be MUCH better. I've tested many vesions and
can't say anything about it. Let's just say it's completely new, fresh
shell that is PACKED with tons of stuff and not 19K. no 2 cents. I just
hope I havn't said too much.
