          RE: Version 2.58

          The enclosed  program (SR.EXE) and documentation (SR.DOC) are for
          version 2.58 of the STILL RIVER SHELL user supported software.

          The Still River Shell  is  a  powerful  DOS  enhancement  utility
          providing a fast, precise and simple tool for  file and directory
          management as well as a high  performance  command  interface  to
          DOS.  The  Still  River Shell will reduce your DOS work effort by
          over 80% in terms of time and key strokes.   In  fact,  when  you
          order the complete manual and latest copy  of the Shell, it comes
          with a 90  DAY  MONEY  BACK  GUARANTEE.  If you are not satisfied
          with the Still River Shell,  just  return the manual and diskette
          for a full refund.  We think  you will find the Still River Shell
          is just the  beauty  you  need  for your beast.  Listed: 1987 and
          1988 in PC SIG's TOP 100 Shareware Programs.

          If this is your first copy of the Shell, the following is a brief
          summary of the Still River Shell's features:

            -  Eliminate almost all command and filename typing.

            -  Keep a stack of 20 of your prior  DOS  commands  for instant
               recall, WP type command line edit and execution.

            -  Turn  your   directory  into  a  menu  you  scroll  through,
               selecting items for operations.

            -  Copy,  move,  delete  and  list files and  directories  with
               single keystroke command selection.

            -  Automatic generation of command, file and directory names on
               your command line.

            -  Pass a DOS command line for each file in  a  set  of  tagged
               files.

            -  Tag, untag,  reverse and recall tag individual files, ranges
               of files or all files either directory or system wide.

            -  See realtime file, directory and  disk  information  as  you
               execute commands.

            -  Find files, or text within files, easily  anywhere  on  your
               system with one command and operate (view, edit,  copy  etc)
               directly against the found file lists.

            -  Display  graphically directory tree structures and use  tree
               display to make, remove or list directories.

            -  View the contents of a file in character or hex.

            -  Sort files by  physical  order,  attribute, name, extension,
               size or date.

            -  Protect against accidentally copying onto existing files.

            -  Modify file attributes.

            -  Backup large directories onto multiple diskettes.

            -  Define your own extensions to the Shell's command set.   For
               example:  touch  a key to edit, with your editor,  the  file
               your pointing at; or, execute the file; or,  archive it; or,
               however you choose to define the 40 user definable keys.

            -  Set flexible, stored configuration options including  color,
               initial sort, etc.

          The Still River  Shell  runs  on  the  IBM  PC,  XT, AT & PS/2 or
          compatibles under PC-DOS or MS-DOS versions 2.n and 3.n; occupies
          a minimum of 94K but does NOT stay resident when it terminates.

          Thank you for your interest in the Still River Shell.

                                           Sincerely,

                                           Bill White
