CD-dot-dot - 2.2
================
This archive consists of a few scripts which makes it possible to
type both "cd.." and "cd .." in the shell to get to the parent drawer.
After successfully installing this package all 4 combinations below should
be possible:
cd.. ; Windows style
cd .. ; Linux style
cd / ; AmigaOS style
/ ; AmigaOS "short" style
And:
cd ../ ; go into the ".." drawer
Notes
-----
1. If you have an existing ".." directory that you want to CD into,
then you must use "cd ../" in order to traverse into it (since "cd .."
will take you to the parent directory).
2. If you are updating CD-dot-dot, please don't forget to uninstall the old
version before installing this new update.
3. Minor warning, if you run the Install and Uninstall scipts disorganized,
install this version over an old version, or some other error then it
may happen that the CD will completely stop working. In that case use
WB, Dopus, Filer or some other File Manager to run the script Clean
and reboot, this should get CD to its default state. Then try
installing again.

Changes
-------
2.2:
- Fixed bug "doesn't work for paths with a space in the name".
2.1:

accurate "CD: object not found" message than "/: Unknown command" when
trying to go to parent from the top (root) drawer.
- Expanded/clarified instructions in readme.
2.0:
- Added a *hack* which makes it possible to type "cd .." (including the space).
- Complete rewrite of "Install" and "Uninstall" scripts.
- Changed "cd /" to just "/" in the cd.. script.
- Added a "Clear" script which tries to whipe out all files created
by CD-dot-dot.

- Fixed minor typos in some scripts.
1.0:
- Initial release.
