From the [author's website][1]:
> MacShell is a Unix-like command line interface for the Macintosh.
> Its interface is modeled loosely on the Unix C-shell. Versions of a
> set of Unix-style file management, content searching, and other
> assorted utilities are built-in. It also contains a less-than-32k
> text editor.
>
> It's free!
>
> A few highlights of MacShell:
>
> * It does content searching with regular expressions (grep, egrep)
> * Does filename substitution with support for a wildcard character
> (*).
> * Supports an abbreviated version of the 'long form' Unix find
> command.
> * Mimics Unix standard I/O (pipes, redirection to/from files).
> * It's scriptable.
> * Supports shell variables and aliases.
> * Supports command history.
> * Supports backquote substitution
> * Its tools can operate on resource forks as well as data forks.
> * It has an extensive manual built-in
> * It can be used to query and set Macintosh file type and creator
> tags.
> * It can be used to segment and rejoin files.

> Note that MacShell contains some powerful facilities which could be
> dangerous if misused. Please only use it if you feel confident you
> know what your are doing. I will take no responsibility for any
> damage you may do to your files while using it.
