= shell = 
Menu and Desktop icon to launch an OSGeo4W command shell suitable for commandline utilities (GDAL, PROJ, etc).

Creates ''Osgeo4w Shell'' link on Desktop and Startmenu.
Spawned from ticket #18

== Batch files ==
'''`osgeo4w`''' - opens a command shell with proper o4w environment set [[br]]
'''`osgeo4w foo`''' - opens a command shell with proper o4w environment set, and call program `foo` [[br]]

'''`o-help`''' - a quick report of the available programs (pretty prints bin/*.exe, *.py) [[br]]


== Changes ==
 * 1.0.0-13: remove addpath and inpath utils (c.f. #295); insert `osgeo4w\bin` to beginning of PATH
 * 1.0.0-11: allow spaces in Osgeo4w_root path (#315); extend `o-help` to show .com files, and skip missing filetypes
 * 1.0.0-9: #284, new batch files `addpath` and `inpath` to intelligently only add items to PATH if they're not there exist already.
 * 1.0.0-9: #276, instead of stripping trailing backslash just convert doubles to singles.

 * 1.0.0-8: fix: cleaner calling of parameters introduced in .0-7; less noise in o-help reporting.

 * 1.0.0-7: change: pass initiating command line args to o4w shell. Allows calling osgeo4w.bat with parameters, e.g. `"path\to\osgeo4w.bat %pythonhome%\path\to\pythonwin.exe"`. Also don't display help if parameters are present (is faster and not as noisy).

 * 1.0.0-6: bugfix: postinstall bat did not have properly closed quotes 
 * 1.0.0-6: change: `o-help` lists batchfiles as well as .exe and .py 

 * 1.0.0-5: fixed startmenu group, was double nested (OSGeo4W\OSGeo4W)

 * 1.0.0-4: fixed bug in postinstall where duplicate desktop link was created

 * 1.0.0-3: fixed bug in postinstall: Start menu one link was not created properly
 * 1.0.0-3: osgeo.bat calls o-help on startup
 * 1.0.0-3: Shortened osgeo-help.bat to o-help.bat (if you upgraded from .0-2 you may need to remove the old one manually)
