PowerCmd on Bits du Jour

<< < (2/7) > >>

Darwin:
Yeah... I wound up buying a licence, too. For $9.95, how could I NOT pay for it?! I find it useful and would like to support development.

cthorpe:
My big question is can it use alternate shells, or is it stuck with cmd.exe?

Apparently it doesn't and it doesn't play well with cygwin or vi  :(

It's a no go for me.

Hmmm... that's interesting. I wonder if this is why it opens up so much more quickly than either 4NT or PromptPal? Perhaps they don't use cmd.exe? I'm speculating wildly, of course (ie I have no idea what I am talking about  :o).

TucknDar:
I use cmd.exe or a little utility called lsh anyway, so although support for the big baddies would be nice, it's not a matter of big concern to me. Happy with it so far. (meaning the times I've used it in the last 24 hours, hehe )

Steven Avery:
Hi Folks,

Thanks for the feedback. 
I picked up the license too. 

Maybe without the kludge of Windows Start-Run and then the
cryptic screen where all your keys are lost to history I'll be doing
more stuff.  Just wanted to confirm that this was an A-grade program.

Note added:
Even today this program came in handy.  I was following some FTP
instructions to communicate with an AS/400 that required the DOS
Box and my DOS box hung in the middle of the operations.  When I did
it in PowerCmd not only was there all sorts of goodies like cut-and-paste
working, I had no problem at all.  Kewl.

Shalom,
Steven
