AShell was an early shell during the era where shells on 86's didn't do anything except list and run programs. There was no need for one then, but after emulation was mastered, Nagel released ASE which is his AShell Enhanced with 85/82 emulation. ASE is a form of AShell, but if you're talking about AShell, then you're not talking about ASE. -Joseph Have A :-) Nice Day
