- Shell
- The command shell is the nucleus of the Midas system.
- It is the piece of software that receives and reacts to text commands from the user
or interoperating software.
- Throughout the history of the Midas family, there have been numerous shells with
various features, some welcomed and others despised.
- For flexibility, NeXtMidas and X-Midas provide two basic shell operating modes:
- Interactive
- The Midas shell is explicitly entered. Further interaction is done within
the shell.
- One-Shot
- Midas starts up, runs a single command, and then exits.
- It is not uncommon for the "single" command to be a full-scale
application.
