[Coco] MShell

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, I posted another reply before the one you answered that that told you what to do about MShell.

It made it to the list... because I received a copy as well.

So, in retorspect... here it is again:

Gene,
MShell.. The version you have is the one you told me you had problems with when
I first released it. And yes, there was a problem. It was fixed long ago as well
as MANY bugs and is now working pretty well, except it WILL NOT do OS9 to Linux,
or Linux to OS9 file transfers. Nor will it do this on a Mac (windows works
perfectly). All other functions either work, or are disabled in the menus until
finished.

You can get the latest version by just running MShell and using the
updater (i think the updater worked in that version), but ONLY if you have DW4
going and your Linux host in currently on the internet. To do this is
simple:
Run Mshell
hit 'u' (or click Utils)
hit 'u' again, (or click Update
mshell)
follow the prompts.
Once the download is done, quit MShell and restart
it.
Done.
There was one release that the updater was broken, and if you have
that version or if you do not have DW4 or internet access on the DW4 server,
then you can go
here:

The download link is right under the screenshot

The ability to transfer files
from a Linux server to OS9 DOES NOT WORK. There is a problem with the DW4 dir
cmd under Linux and Mac, but works perfectly on Windows. This does NOT affect
the updater or OS9 to OS9 copies or OS9 to RSDOS copies. Only when copying from
the server's HD. In this I mean raw files from the HD, not from dsk or vhd
images. Copying from images works perfectly.
There is a workaround for this and
I may put it in the next update, but that's pending for now.

Always check for updates before using MShell as I update frequently.
