Shell/Cli ala MSDos/Linux Shell?
« on: March 11, 2005, 07:48:07 AM »
Greetings,

I'm wondering: has anyone tried to make the Shell/Cli look like MSDos shell? Complete with a blinking cursor Black background and all? If so please tell me how is it done? :-D Only the shell/cli mode not the whole workbench color set. It seems to affect even WB colors if I try to manipulate palette control. Any tips would be helpful.

Also, I forgot how to generate color text on shell. Thanks all.

Regards,

Well, there are programs that let you open windows on new screens. Open a shell-window on a screen with nothing but B&W, and you're set!

Greetings,

I'm sure there were programs like AmIrc that had it's own terminal windows.  I mean, the shell/cli itself behaving like a terminal window. Thanks.

@gizz72

There was some talk about this in the gallery, that's where I think I got the escape chars that make my shell black (check my ss: http://www.amiga.org/gallery/photo.php?lid=2023&cid=22

I'm not at home right now, but I will reply again in the evening with my shell-startup file if no one else responds earlier.

If you have os3.9 you can use the vinced enhanced shell which offers easy a full gui for configuration and its quite easy to make it look like msdos or xterm windows. If you use the "normal" shell it possible too but you'll have to use some shell internal commands or something iirc. Anyway, get os3.9 its the best amiga os available.

Greetings,

@rayt

Thanks for the tips. I'm using the OS of Amiga Forever CD, which is, what they call OS3.x. I have adapted the OS to my A1200 would that count? Thanks.

@MrZammler
I'll go over the link you gave me. :-)
-edit-
Ok I've seen the WBscreen. So does the cursur blink as well? Cool! Cameron Diaz fan, eh?
Later tell how you did it. I'll be going home shortly. Thanks!! :-)

Nope, the cursor does not blink ;-) (But I like it not to!)

Greetings,

Hmmm, maybe there's a way? Is there?
It just gives me that retro feeling when I stare at it. It just make me creative in a way. Quite cool if it does too. Tried that on Amos Screens too. Make them look like a green block and use the 'Flash' command blink like it was yesterday. :-D

Let me know if you can make it blink. Vinced looks promising. I'll check it out. Thanks!

You can edit your s:shell-startup file to change the shell colours

Hmm I don't now but its very unlikely that its os3.9. But you can look at the workbench/kickstart version by choosing "kickstart,workbench" from the "workbench" menu.

Hmm i don't think the "shell version" of vinceed is available as a seperate product.. but i don't know.. btw, on os3.9 you are able to choose a blinking cursor.. although its annoying as hell imho..

You dont need OS 3.9. It is available at aminet.

VinCEd settings>Editor> Cursor Blinking

and thanks to Karlos:

Edit the file S:Shell-Startup as:

; $VER: Shell-Startup
Alias Clear "Echo *"*E[0;0H*E[J*" "
Alias XCopy "Copy CLONE "
Alias ren rename
Alias del delete
Alias md makedir
Alias end endcli
echo "*e[>1m*e[32;41m*e[0;0H*e[J"
prompt "*n*e[>1m*e[33;41m*e[1m%N/%R.*e[30;41m%S>*e[0m*e[32;41m "
alias CLS "echo *"*E[0;0H*E[J*""
echo "AmigaOS 3.9 Workbench (Disk) $Workbench Kickstart (ROM) $Kickstart"
date

for a black Shell backgound :-)
