looking for a console..

[eadmaster]

As the old PocketConsole isn't running on my device, i'm looking for good alternatives.

This perl-based implementation looks interesting, but the download links are broken:
http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/console-1.3-all-platforms.tar.gz

Download and install "Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys" from microsoft website.......install it on PC

After installation, open the location "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\PPC_Command_Shell\arm"

you will find three files there

1) cmd.exe
2) console.dll
3) shell.exe

copy "Console.dll" in \windows folder in your device....also copy "cmd.exe" and "shell.exe" on your device to any location e.g on SD card

after all this, simply launch cmd on device by launching CMD.exe.

Enjoy

thanks, it works!
I've downleaded this a long time ago, but i forgot to copy "console.dll" in the win directory, so it was not working.

It's missing tab-completion, doskey macros, and many tools for scripting (grep,etc.), but it's still better than noting...

Do you know any mirror for the files that were hosted on the rainer keuchel website?

I was quite unsatisfied with the Microsoft Powertoy console, so i ended up writing my own shell in python.
It is based on the Tkinter-based console by Ka-Ping Yee.
I've added tab-completion and the most common builtin commands:

cat ,cd,copy,cp ,delete,deltree,dir, env,head,help,ls,md,move,mv,pwd,rd,ren,rm,start,stat,tail,touch,type,exit

Still missing: wildcard expansions, redirections, pipes, common unix tools (grep, etc.).
Requirements: PythonCE + Tk libraries

NOTE: It was not tested deeply, so expect many bugs!
If you make some improvements just post in this thread.

eTcl is another alternative for a console with Tcl-Tk scripting language.
Search for "eTcl" in Google.
