Hamilton C shell is a clone of the Unix C shell and utilities for Microsoft Windows created by Nicole Hamilton. It provides a scripting environment that is similar to that of the Unix shells, but with features designed to leverage the capabilities and strengths of Windows systems. The language offers command-line editing, programmable word completion, spelling correction, job control, aliases and history facilities along with other advanced features like process substitution or exception handling which are not typically found in other Windows command processors. It also supports all standard I/O redirection operators as well as pipes.
