DESCRIPTION

The command interpreter is a library (written in C) which allows the
creation of programs that can accept commands given interactively by
the user or programs that are sequences of commands. It includes an
expression evaluator writen by Mark Morley (the files ee.c and ee.h).
A more detailed description of the interpreter can be found in the
directory doc/. See also the file INSTALL. This software has been
developped on the Linux OS, and been ported to MSDOS, using the
DJGPP C compilers. The oroginal distribution can be found on
sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux

-- The directory ./mini/ contains a smaller version of the command
interpreter. 
-- The directory ./mem/ contains a part of the command interpreter that 
can be used independently (see the file README in this directory).
-- The directories ./test/ and ./test2/ contain two minimal applications
of the command interpreter (they have only the commands implemented
in the library). The first application uses an external configuration
file, and in the second this file in included in the executable.
-- The directory ./doc/ contains the documentation for the command
interpreter.
-- The directory ./tutorial/ contains a sample application. See the file
README of this directory if you want to build this application on something 
else than a PC.




NOTE : To be incorporated in executables, the initialization files must be 
UNIX text files.
