Hamilton C shell Updates

What's New in Hamilton C shell 2003

This is easily the biggest change to the product since its release on Windows NT in 1992. If you buy a copy today, what you get now is a simple download or a CD. Gone are the 3 pounds of manuals, diskettes, loose sheets of paper and the Tyvek envelope it came stuffed in.

For the first time, all the documentation is hypertext and it is very, very fast.  You can get a feel for the content here on-line, but on your own hard disk, it's instantaneous from page to page.

Also for the first time, the C shell uses the Microsoft Installer to automate installation and uninstallation, including setting up shortcuts in the Start menu and one on the desktop.  When you open a window, it's now an attractive color and size; you don't need to do a lot of tweaking by hand.  Installation is down to a minute from 15 or 20 in the past.

This is also a less intrusive install.  Nothing gets added to the environment variables (as seen via the Control Panel's System applet) nor is anything added to the registry (other than just the one that the Microsoft Installer uses.) When you remove the C shell (via the Add or Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel), all trace of it's removed; there's no trash left behind in some file or some registry key.

Additional detail can be found in the release notes or the summary of recent changes.

Updates are free for the first year but, unfortunately, as of August 10, 2003, there is a small fee after that.  The fee for this update from any previous version of Hamilton C shell is $89 USD.  If your copy of Hamilton C shell was purchased after January 2001, this update is free.

The easiest way to buy the update is with the Paypal button but we can also accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and purchase orders from most organizations.  Upon receipt of your order, you’ll receive a DES encryption key + the DES encryption utility by email, allowing you to download and install the update.
