Get it from:

http://www.slavin.org/geoshell/daily/geosh41.zip

For the changes see the message board at geoshell.com because i forgot to copy it:)

21/12/99 - R4.1

Read abit more about 4.1 yesterday about more customisation of the menu, and maybe a gui for config for r5.

Dead to the World

is what I've been since New Year. But it was fun:)!!
Happy New Year!

OK so yesterday...

Yes, yesterdays release was more buggy thean a marsh in mosquito season. Try today's, it still has one bug, see the readme, but its not too harsh. Anyway it's a beta, so what do you expect:)

Explorer Continues On

Right, to provide a fool proof explorer loading, ShellON now logs of if you load Explorer at startup, writes explorer to your ini file and loads it up. Then it writes ShellON back to the ini. It's abit long, but it always works:)

Download it now

Login Names finished

ShellON can now load a shell based on your login (user) name. Includes a default seeting for people it deosn't recognise.

Download it now

Latest Quiz :

What is your favorite shell?

Login Names...

Figured out where login name was stored it the registry, so hopefully I'll implement shell loading based on the users login name soon.

13/12/99 - R5 Features

  • Window Wrappers - Like Fabien's scheme below.
  • Embed plugins on the Desktop.
  • More try geOShell.com

Still Them Weird Bugs

It appears there are still a couple of bugs with Explorer. Send me a mail about what happens if Explorer loading doesn't work properly. As far as I can see it works for some, not for others.

And Now...

Right, I give up! Here's a zip. Download, extract to C:\ShellON\, add ShellON StartUp to your startup on the startmenu and enjoy....:) Try it

See Below...

Right, apparently the file is still corrupted. So now I'm trying another thing. This time I'm posting the newest build I have (as of this morning) in an install package. Mail me if this doesn't work and I'll post a zip for you all. Thanks for the patience, hope you find it's worth it:) Try it

On Files and Folders

I've had a mail telling me that the beta install is corrupted, and that v1.6.0 in not to be found. I've uploaded another v1.7.0beta2 and tried changing the name of 1.6.0 so hopefully you'll be able to download them:)

18/12/99 - Explorer Load bug (hopefully) Fixed

I think that I've solved the Explorer load bug. I'm still testing it, and implementing a few other new features, so it'll be a couple of days I think until I post it. Keep checking, or sign up to the mialing list (see page base) to be told when it arrives!
Thanks to tin_omen for help with this:)
This is alos why there hasn't been any changes for a couple of days (all that coding;). I'll try to get the Vertical bars up soon, also.

16/12/99 - Changed Counter to TheCounter.com

Because the LinkExchange one gave up, or so it seemed. Thought I'd warn you all:)
