Notes:

This version is marked 'alpha' and 'unstable'. Alpha means that there still are major features that
need to be implemented. Unstable means that even though bug testing has been done, the program cannot yet be guaranteed to be bug free. The program was debugged with valgrind and gdb and no bugs were found. Unstable also means that there is a good chance that upstream releases may not be backwards compatible with this release. The operating system is only GNU/Linux due to using Linux system calls for things like getting the username and checking files. It has not been tested on other operating systems. The binaries are not currently signed, if that bothers you then compile it yourself, see README to learn how. The make file does not have a install feature yet. Installing is not recommended yet due to the history file being generated in the same folder that qsh is in. This will change in future versions.

This version does not come with a man page. For any help with the program, see README and/or type help into the prompt.
