[10.07.97]

- fixed minor bug in command lookup:
  'xdosomethingorsomethingelse' was previously executed as 'xdo'
  This is treated as an unknown command now. Anyway commands may be
  abbreviated as long as they are not ambiguous.

[12.03.97]

- xlpc includes some more std-include-files and .xtool.h (if present)

[04.03.97]

- new command: xproc
  display some information from the /proc filesystem in a very raw fashion.

[08.05.96]

- Xmore/Xtail: modified MoreFile/CatFile using new read_buffer() instead of
  read_file() function which is VERY slow when giving offsets as argument.

[13.02.96]

- see below ...

[03.01.96]

- new command line parser under development (ALPHA!)

[21.11.95]

- MGtool will be destructed during creation, when !IS_LEARNER(<cloner>) is true

- new option "-s" to xi[nventory] prints short inventory list (filenames only).
  This is useful for alert object "... scanned your inventory" etc.
  xi accepts <username> as optional argument to retrieve <username>'s 
  inventory instead of the cloner's own inventory and may write into pipes
  to create command chains like: xi -s kirk|xgrep MGtool

- new command xlag :-) 

[09.11.95]

- bugfix: xinherit now calls xinherit and NOT xinventory

[23.08.95]

- xcall and xeval try to include a private header file ~/.xtool.h if one 
  exists. You may define own macros or whatever to make things easier

[21.06.95]

- new option "cmdavg" to xwho, shows command_average in ascending order

[20.06.95]

- removed redirecting of xcall and xeval (too buggy)

- added options -f and -m to xprops (show propflags and propmethods)

[06.06.95]

  ** IMPORTANT ** (not backward compatible change)
- xcall and xeval now write to a file, when redirecting their output
  using '>'. It is also possible to pipe output into other commands

[30.05.95]

- xlook/xdlook are now able to write into pipes

- xwho shows the name of any user currently logging in
  instead of simply " R O O T "

[10.04.95]

- added option -i to xgrep (ignore case)

- bugfix in command pipelines

[28.03.95]

- xinherit is now able to write into pipes

[20.03.95]

- added IO redirection like:  xwho ip > testfile  or  xwho >> testfile
                        and:  xmore < testfile
  (this is very ALPHA!!!)

[01.03.95]

- new command xwc. Count lines, words and chars in file
  Syntax xwc [-clw] [file]  (is able to read from pipe)

[17.02.95]

- changed formatting of xprops output

[15.02.95]

- lots of code added, some rewritten

- removed xalias capability (the shell alias provides the same functionality)

- removed xcindent, xdate, xquit 

- bugs fixed in xcallouts, xprops, xman (when using xxtool)

- added command pipelines for selected commands:

  -> cmd : is able to read from pipe
  cmd -> : is able to write into pipe

  xcallouts ->
  -> xcat ->
  xcmds ->
  -> xgrep ->
  xhbeats ->
  -> xhead ->
  -> xmore
  -> xmsg
  xprops ->
  -> xsort ->
  -> xtail ->
  xwho ->

  the general syntax using pipes is:

    cmd_a [arg_a] | cmd_b [arg_b] | ...

  only the first space between cmd_a and arg_a or between cmd_a and the
  first pipe symbol is necessary.

  All functions which allow direct output into a pipe don't use a pager
  to show its output even if no pipe follows this command. You may use
  cmd [arg]|xmore to obtain the old results.

- new commands xtail, xhead, xcat and xsort

- command line option -v added to xgrep to print lines not matching the search
  pattern

- i/o redirection is coming soon
