        YAOS (Yet Another OS/2 Shell) version 0.3, Copyright 1994
        =========================================================
                              (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.

      * last but not least, it is FREE.

This is the third release of YAOS. The new features are:
      * full implementation of the prompt command except for:
                $I, $R and $V

      * full implementation of commandline editing except for the
        escape key (escape key is used in filename completion)

      * the 'set' command works now

      * smarter file name completion (file name completion can only
        be performed at the end of the commandline still)

      * works with programs that changes directory (like "vcd").

This release is by no means a bug free version. However, I hope you'll
use and like YAOS. Suggestions and comments are welcomed.

Installation
------------
1) Copy YAOS.EXE to a PATHed directory (eg. C:\OS)

2) Copy EMX.DLL to a LIBRARY directory (eg. C:\OS\DLL)

3) Now you can safely run YAOS

NOTE: Failure to perform the above steps will result in improper execution
      of YAOS.
