Re: [MacPerl] Further qualification on my MacPerl shell project

[William McAuliff <womc3@adamsapple.com>]

Several years back I stumbled upon an app called MacShell - it was in beta
version. If I remember correctly, it does most, if not all, of what Charles
seems to be looking for, although it isn't MacPerl.

It should still be available on Info-mac or the other usual places. I may
still have a copy on a disk, if anyone is interested, and unable to locate
it elsewhere.
