Customer testimonials over the years
“I lead the engineering team at Digital that did the port of Windows
NT to Digital’s Alpha architecture. Hamilton C shell has been an
essential tool in our daily work for the last five years. We use it
both interactively and in scripting complex tasks. Hamilton C shell
is dependable, fast, impeccably engineered, and available for all
NT-supported microprocessor architectures. Hamilton Laboratories provides
timely support for our time-crunched engineering activities.
Many people on our team use it and appreciate it for both its
capabilities and as a method of providing a shell environment on
Windows NT.”
Benn Schreiber, Digital Equipment Corporation
“Here at the IRS, we use Hamilton C shell and the cron utility that comes
with it to automate the nightly updates of a large number of Windows NT
servers in the southeast region. Later this year, we expect this project
to go nationwide. Ours is a mission-critical activity that demands
unquestioned reliability. Hamilton C shell delivers that reliability with
top-notch functionality and outstanding engineering and support. I use
Hamilton C shell personally and I recommend it to my colleagues.”
Arthur E. Kitchens, Internal Revenue Service
“I have over 7,000 lines of Hamilton C shell scripts performing
different duties, over 2,500 in a single script which masterminds the
extensive nightly regression testing for the C 7.00 C++ compiler. The
power, speed, reliability and expressability of the Hamilton C shell is
better than the C shells I have used on any UNIX system, and I have used
a lot of them. I love it. It’s a great programmer’s
tool.”
Martin J. O’Riordan, Microsoft
“I use Hamilton C shell on a daily basis. Hamilton C shell is a great
product. It’s dependable, fast and very powerful. Support is terrific.
Whenever I’ve had a question, the response has always been immediate.
I’m always impressed at how easy it is to get things done with
Hamilton C shell. It definitely has paid for itself!”
Kurt Jones, Info Directions, Inc.
“I use Hamilton C shell every day for many tasks —
everything from the product build process to source code management.
Hamilton C shell brings the very best of the UNIX tool set to Windows NT,
and does so in a seamless and high quality manner. My technical support
issues are always dealt with promptly and professionally. I would recommend
Hamilton C shell to anyone who enjoys getting a complicated task completed using
a single, simple command line request!”
Ron Forrester, OrCAD, Inc.
“I’m very impressed with the product. We get flack from folks because
we aren’t ‘UNIX®-like,’ when actually we are rather UNIX-like at the
program interface level; it’s our user interface that’s very un-UNIX-like.
Your product not only has its tangible benefits, but also some psychological
ones as well. Personally, I’d like to have a copy for my home machine.”
Gordon Letwin
“Hamilton C shell is a hacker’s dream — it makes all your other
software tools work faster and better. Hamilton has given us two-inch pipe
where Microsoft and IBM gave us quarter-inch; a full set of controls where they
gave us an off switch; and a Porsche engine where they gave us a VW.”
Martin Heller, Software developer and OS/2 consultant
“A fine product. Outstanding command line editing and a complete set of
terrific utilities. No one should cripple OS/2 with little more than a DOS
prompt when they can have Hamilton C shell. Buy it!”
Dave Nanian, co-author of BRIEF
“Everyone here who uses OS/2 uses the Hamilton C shell. We find it
indispensable for sophisticated software development, particularly when we
have to switch between OS/2 and UNIX workstations. Best of all, the support
has been absolutely first rate.”
Scott E. Garfinkle, Ingres
“We regularly run a multi-thousand line set of Hamilton C shell scripts
to painlessly produce the OS/2 version of Sybase SQL Server. Hamilton C
shell and all its utilities let us move easily between OS/2 and UNIX. We
are looking forward to getting the same productivity gains from the Hamilton
product in the Windows NT environment.”
David Clingerman, Sybase, Inc.
