Getting a More Functional Command Line with WinOne
The WinOne utility is more along the lines of a look and feel command line prompt enhancement.
What you receive is a far nicer interface than Windows provides for the command prompt, along
with many options for modifying the interface. You can download this utility at
http://www
.winone.com.au/
. Figure 23.6 shows how this utility appears on screen. Although you can??™t see it
in the book, WinOne provides a significant amount of color coding that makes working with command
or utility output significantly easier, especially for tabular items.

INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY AT THE COMMAND LINE
Figure 23.6
WinOne provides a
nicer look and feel
than the basic command
prompt that
Windows provides.
In addition, WinOne includes its own batch language that you can compile. The batch applications
can include special dialog boxes, so you have an opportunity to combine the advantages of the
command line with a graphical interface. The book doesn??™t include an example of this batch language
because you can probably do better by using standard batch development techniques and a
batch file compiler.
