Please note that the first shell in the above list, Arcgsh, is available as
version 3.0 now. It has just shown up in comp.binaries.atari.st.

-->   Maintainers of Atari ST software archives should get   <--
-->   the new version and replace old ones (arcgsh21.arc     <--
-->   is an old version)!                                    <--

If you have problems finding Arcgsh 3.0 locally please don't hesitate to
mail me.
