Hamilton C shell is a much more powerful alternative to the standard
MS-DOS command window on Chicago and Windows NT and comes with virtually
all the day-to-day utilities most folks will ever need.  Careful attention
has been paid to making this the best possible product on Chicago and
Windows NT.  For example, even though it certainly provides all the
power (and much more!) of the original UNIX C shell, this is not simply
a cosmetic attempt to make Chicago or Windows NT look more like Unix.

Price, including shipping by air, is $350 in the U.S., $365 in Canada
or Mexico or $395 elsewhere.  On quantity 5 or more, there is a 5%
discound.  We accept purchase orders from most U.S. organizations of
recognized credit; international orders must be prepaid in U.S. dollars.
We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards, bank
wires and checks drawn on a U.S. bank

Except for the addition of demo.exe, and the doc directory (containing
the ASCII text and Postscript versions of the User Guide and other
materials) and this readme.1st file, the layout you see, including even
the detailed release notes in readme.too, is just what you'd see in the
actual product version.

The shell and all the utilities have been crippled so they'll expire
on August 31, 1994.  After that, if you want to continue using the
product, you'll have to buy a copy.  Also, an annoying "nagware" message
has been added to C shell itself so it'll remind you each time it starts
up that if you like the product, we hope you'll buy it.  Other than
that, the entire product is fully functional.

The samples directory contains a number of sample C programs and C shell
scripts which we hope you'll find helpful in experimenting with the C
shell.

It is not necessary to actually install this package onto your hard disk
to try it out.  Simply type "demo" and you're off and running!

If you have questions or would like to place an order, we'd love to
hear from you!
